What then is the LCD pointing to? Does it come with a monitor?
Anyway, I guess lirc_imon comes with lirc, but you are now working
through the build in event system in the kernel. Lirc can work with
the event system, but its drivers work with the old /dev/lirc. So you
have to choose which driver you're gona use. The kernel event drivers,
which need most of the time little set-up to work, but mostely only
support defaults or the lirc drivers, which have extra features, but
which setting up can sometimes be a long road.
