Public bug reported:

I am using an imonlcd device in Ubuntu Studio 13.04.
My hardware is a Gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H with a Athlon X2, in an Antec Veris 
box.

After upgrading from 12.04 to 13.04 I found that the imonlcd function
was unreliable, and the reason was that the device name /dev/lcd* was
sometimes not the same as referred to in the LCDd.conf. Sometimes it was
/dev/lcd0, sometimes /dev/lcd1.

The imonlcd device name needs to be predictable and stable for lcdproc
to work.

lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 13.04

What I expect: I want to turn off the IMON LCD backlight at boot
What happens: It sometimes does not do that.
