Short answer is yes, I would be confident that these devices work
under Linux, and that myth supports them.

Long answer: I've been looking at the LC11M case myself (link below).
Looking through the FAQ of the LC11M, it comes with the iMON VFD / IR
receiver made by Soundgraph.  Looking through the mythtv site, I came
across the link below explaining how to get the iMON receiver/VFD
working with Myth.  Finally, since the ML02 has no such FAQ (to new?),
I googled Silverstone ML02 iMON, which popped up numerous sites
confirming that the ML02 did, indeed, have the same VFD.

Good Luck!
