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).
