<br>
Recently updated my Myth system from 14.04 to 16.04 (running<br>
0.28-fixes).<br>
<br>
All seems well at this point except for the fact that the VFD LCD panel<br>
on my case doesn't come up (with LCDd and lcdproc). The imon drivers<br>
that come with the new kernels don't work with it (the module will load<br>
but the LCD daemon fails to run, as it can't find /dev/lcd0 - "Did you<br>
load the iMON VFD module?" in /var/log/syslog.<br>
<br>
After doing a bit of Googling, I now recall that I had to compile a<br>
custom driver from Venky to get it to work before, but the download link<br>
is no longer any good, and I can't find the .tgz file anywhere. The<br>
SilverStone site has Windows drivers but not Linux (they point to<br>
Venky's site for the Linux driver). Anyone still have a copy of that<br>
imon_vfd.tgz lying around? It needs to be compiled for the current<br>
running kernel.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<span class="gmail-HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

I'm pretty sure I'm no longer using custom code. I was able to get the in-kernel drivers working. I don't know if I have the exact same model as you though (lsusb shows ID 15c2:ffdc SoundGraph Inc. iMON PAD Remote Controller).

Without it, I think it will assume an LCD instead of VFD type. Note that I'm using Gentoo so you'll need to put those kernel module options where appropriate for Ubuntu.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Karl<br></div></div>
