Hi Dan,

here is (part of) the output I'm getting, it does seem to have to do 
with the time widget yes.
After a couple of seconds the display turns itself off abruptly and I 
have the feeling that's just about the moment when the errors disappear 
as well.
I'll try turning up the debug level on the LCDd to see if it tries to 
use any features that the driver doesn't support.

Cheers,
 -Tako
