I'm still researching about building a mythbox and was looking at 
integrating an lcd display.  You mention lcdproc - what about 
lcd4linux?  Admittedly, I haven't delved into the mythtv lcd stuff (if 
there is any... I can't find it in the docs).  Any thoughts from people 
who've integrated an lcd?
