I did finally get it working yesterday. But I was having some issues
with the backend starting. So I said what the heck I'll just reinstall.
Well now I cannot get the darn display working again following the same
instructions I followed before. I can get it to echo commands I get it
to display the LCDproc Client server thing.

But still cannot get it to Display myth info or to start up on boot.

I really have no clue what I am doing
