[Lcdproc] LC16M imon + LCD 0.5.1

[John Saunders]

I use the device "/dev/lcd0" that lirc provides.

I think that might be a good start.

I agree. The ENODEV is either generated by the kernel when
no internal device matches the major/minor of the special
/dev file, or the driver itself wants to indicate that the
hardware required to work is disconnected.

I would suspect something funny happening with the driver,
or a USB disconnect occuring for some odd reason.

I use the driver provided by the lirc package. The loadable
kernel module provides a /dev/lcd0 device that lcdproc uses.
I believe there is a standalone device for use without lirc,
but I have never tried it and have read reports on the
mythtvtalk forum that it doesn't work for some people.

What are use using to provide the iMon device?
