lcdproc hasn't really needed any changes since early 2004. It still works
with all of the HD44780 LCD displays, all of the Matrix Orbital displays,
etc. Matrix Orbital sells USB versions of their LCD and VFD displays, and
they work well with lcdproc.

Anyway, yes, the LCD support in MythTV is limited to lcdproc.
