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? Thanks.

My VFD is a Parallel with a serial controller on top of it.
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.
