I have lirc_imon installed I believe this came with the LCDproc-0.5.1 or
LIRC .08 I have no idea I think I am loosing my mind with this
Below is what I get at boot

*Starting Service LCDd: imon: Error opening /dev/lcd0 (no such file or
*directory}
*Imon: Did you load the iMon VFD kernel Module?
*Driver [imon] init failed, return code <0
*Could not load driver imon
*There is no output driver
