This is weird... It works for me.
Is the backlight never turned on by myth? It should at least be turned
on when the frontend is started. In the settings menu, I have all
options tagged except for 'always on'. Instead I have the 'pop-up time'
set to 60 seconds.
I am running lcdproc 0.4.5 and mythtv cvs from about 2 weeks ago.
