Hmmmm my device is a VFD not an LCD are you sure its still imonlcd2? as
its still not working....

The wierd thing is I was constantly getting these errors before I added
the modprobe options to modeprobe.conf "options lirc_imon display_type=1"

lcd_write: invalid payload size: 32 (expecting 8)


Are there any packages for lcdproc 0.5.3 for Mythdora 10.21 around?
