Interesting, does this VFD unit have a IR receiver? If so then the lirc driver may need to have (0x051c, 0x0005) added to the list of usb id's in the lirc_mceusb2 module. > First of all, the vendor/productIDs of my display differ from the ones > in the plugin.

BTW the correct id for the older VFD module is (0x1308,0x0003).
