Hi, Ray,

I think I'm one of the few LCDproc driver maintainers who still has a
Matrix Orbital display - a VKD204 bought in, IIRC, mid-2000.  I did
fix a bug with VFD/VKD displays between the released version of 0.5.2
and the a later version in CVS.  Unfortunately, I can't test
LCD-specific code since I don't have an MO LCD.  I can say that I've
run into strange behavior when accidentally forgetting to set the MO
display type - there's a bit of code that determines what specific
control codes to send to handle the minor differences between the two
command sets.

Looking at MtxOrb_cursor() in a recent version of MtxOrb.c, it
explicitly sends either a "K" or a "J" to rurn the cursor off or on.
I don't have the manual for your model of LCD in front of me, but did
the command change to control the cursor?
