[Lcdproc] LCDd not loading properly

[brian]

Hi all...

    I recently added an LCD display to my MythTV system, but I cannot 
get  LCDd to automatically load during boot-up (or, for that matter, to 
load properly when invoked from the command line).

    The problem occurs when I start LCDd (either by `service LCDd 
start`,  or if I type `/usr/local/sbin/LCDd -c 
/usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf`).  The system prompt doesn't return after LCDd 
server starts up.  If it Ctrl-C, I am returned to the system prompt and 
the system (including LCDd!) perform normally.  Clients can connect to 
and use the LCDd server normally.  Because of this behavior, if I enable 
automatically loading LCDd with chkconfig, the boot-up process stops at 
the point where the LCDd daemon is started.

    I would appreciate any/all help getting this going correctly!

    The display is a CrystalFontz 632 USB (a 16x2 display with a USB 
interface).   I compiled LCDd & LCDproc on Fedora Core 5 
(2.6.18-1.2239.fc5); configure was run to accept the defaults with 
display set to CFontz.

    My LCDd.conf file (/usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf) looks like this (I've 
removed most of the commented lines, for brevity/clarity):

	Driver=CFontz
	Bind=127.0.0.1
	Port=13666
	#ReportLevel=3
	ReportToSyslog=yes
	WaitTime=5
	User=nobody
	ServerScreen=no
	#Foreground=no
	DriverPath=/usr/local/lib/lcdproc/
	ToggleRotateKey=Enter
	PrevScreenKey=Left
	NextScreenKey=Right
	#ScrollUpKey=Up
	#ScrollDownKey=Down

	[menu]
	MenuKey=Escape
	EnterKey=Enter
	UpKey=Up
	DownKey=Down

	## CrystalFontz driver (for CF632 & CF634) ##
	[CFontz]
	Device=/dev/ttyUSB0
	Size=16x2
	Contrast=450
	Brightness=250
	OffBrightness=0
	Speed=19200
	NewFirmware=yes
	Reboot=no
	USB=yes


    Thanks for reading this far... and if there's some configuration or 
system information I should have included to help troubleshoot, just let 
me know.
