After a complete reinstall of Mythdora and LCDproc 0.5.1 
This is what I get at boot 

*Starting Service LCDd: imon: Error opening /dev/lcd0 (no such file or
*directory}
*Imon: Did you load the iMon VFD kernel Module?
*Driver [imon] init failed, return code <0
*Could not load driver imon
*There is no output driver


I was under the impression that the imon driver was included in LCDproc?


I tried installing the standalone version of the IMON_VFD 
But the make fails
