I had the same experience. The remote and the LCD display are working
perfect. It's really nice to be able to power on your computer with the
remote ;)

Mhh, I too have the imon remote and the mouse works flawless. However, if I
remember correctly, I had to patch lirc to get it working. I mapped the
mouse to up-down-left-right arrows.
I also patched LCDd to disable the welcome message. Otherwise it stays
displayed on the LCD even after powering off the computer (this is because
the LCD+VFD have always power from the PSU so I can use the remote to power
on the computer).
