This sounds like the bug I fixed in 0.5.2 - go get a recent nightly
tarball and build that.

If this is what I think it is, the problem is not baud rate.  The
problem is an incorrect control character sent by the MtxOrb driver
when refreshing the screen.  I submitted a change months ago when I
found it.  There has not been a new release of LCDproc since then, so
you have to get a nightly tarball to get the fix until the next point
release.
