Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: lcdproc

My iMon VFD stopped working when I updated to Ubuntu 8.04. I am running AMD64 
version of 8.04. On 7.10 the VFD worked OK.
The IR part of iMON is working fine with 8.04. Just the VFD is "dead".

The LCDd is starts OK.

On my LCDd.conf I have Driver=imon

There is also /dev/lcd0 successfully created:
crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 144 2008-05-01 20:04 /dev/lcd0

On/var/logsyslog I get following message when I start LCDd:
May  2 11:31:23 htpc-serveri kernel: [29830.532317] 
/var/lib/dkms/lirc/0.8.3~pre1/build/drivers/lirc_imon/lirc_imon.c: VFD port 
opened

So everything should be fine... But as soon as I start the LCDd, following 
starts to show up in dmesg
[30722.563641] 
/var/lib/dkms/lirc/0.8.3~pre1/build/drivers/lirc_imon/lirc_imon.c: lcd_write: 
invalid payload size: 32 (expecting 8)

If I try to echo something to /dev/lcd0 I just get an error message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc$ echo terve > /dev/lcd0 
bash: /dev/lcd0: Device or resource busy

There is a modification in lirc iMON driver made after 7.10. There is the same 
error message mentioned in the source code, so could it be that something broke 
because of the change??

I have following packages installed:
lcdproc   0.5.2-0ubuntu2
lirc    0.8.3~pre1-0ubuntu7
