[Lcdproc] Problems with CF634 usb

[brian]

...and, further to that quoted below, you may also be suffering from the same problem I am here... in that the LCDd daemon doesn't 
properly detect it's child process and daemonize during initialization.   That's what I'm seeing here with my CF USB device.  If I 
(manually) `kill -USR1` the parent process after startup, everything is fine.  [shrug]   Last I heard, someone had found a section 
in the source where the parent/child process handling had been changed several times (perhaps to combat the very issue I'm seeing).
