I'm a Fedora 7 user, but there are few ideas:

first, check the driver directory path in the config file. If you run lcdproc 
as a daemon it's better to use absolute path (for example /usr/local/..... - 
not local/....).

second, go to the specified dir and check if the required .so file exist 
there. If not - you are about to build the latest version from sources. It's 
probably the best idea anyway (and it's not that hard to do)

Good luck
