In freevo, just add, as stated in the plugin's source header comment the
line
plugin.activate('lcd')
to your local_conf.py.
You can even run the LCDproc daemon on a different machine than the
client, but then you have to specifiy that machine's name in pylcd (the
dependency required by the lcd.py plugin), and allow connections on the
respective network interface in LCDd.conf on the server machine.
To configure on which display the LCDproc deamon should render its
output, just activate the respective "Driver" in LCDd.conf, and then
configure that driver's parameters in the corresponding section.
In your case, you want to configure the ncurses driver to display on a
screen size supported by the freevo lcdproc plugin.
Then, start the daemon in the foreground with "LCDd -f" to see it's
ncurses output in the respective console (it should work even over a
remote terminal session). I don't remember exactly right now, if the
command line options differ between 0.4 and 0.5, that might be,but you
can just check yourself with "LCDd --help" I think...
Good luck
