Maybe I'm just daft, but I don't see it in mythsetup or the frontend setup? I didn't even see the word LCD mentioned in the mythtv.org documentation. Think you can point it out to me?

Unfortunately, it's not listed under any of the drivers for LCD proc, which is why I'm winging it. I think you may be right on the driver part, but as for the RTFM comment, the HD44780 driver also supports the Pic-an-LCD interface which is very similar to my setup, and distributed by the same people who do my VFD. If you RTFM, you learn that you use the "Device=" line to set the driver to a serial port, as I stated in my previous post. I've since read that the Matrix Orbital LCD's use an echo interface to the serial port, so I'll be trying it shortly.
