  Yep - I use it. Works, I have a Silverstone case with a Soundgraph 
imon/vfd in it.

  At this point you should get a /dev/lcd0 device and should be able to 
get things to come up by say 'echo "Hello World" > /dev/lcd0'

  Make sure you can do this before moving on.

  This just displays various 'stats' on the screen. Don't need it, 
unless you want LCDproc on the display instead of Myth..

  When It starts, it writes a 'sign on' to the display. Does it ? LCDd 
is some sort of arbitor that allows multiple programs to write to the 
display. It takes over the /proc/lcd0 device and every thing else talks 
to it.
