Driver for Soundgraph/Ahanix/Silverstone/Uneed/Accent iMON IR/VFD Module
<para>
In order to be able to use it, you have to get and install one of
the following kernel modules:
- standalone iMON VFD driver from <ulink url="http://venky.ws/projects/imon/"></ulink>
- the iMON module included with LIRC ver. 0.7.1 or newer
from the <ulink url="http://www.lirc.org">LIRC project</ulink>/
The <code>imon</code> driver controls
<ulink url="http://www.soundgraph.com/Eng_/Products/imon25.aspx">Soundgraph iMON VFD</ulink>
devices, that are either preinstalled or available as optional accessories
for a variety of Home Theater PC (HTPC) cases from Ahanix, Silverstone, Cooler Master
and others. They can also be bought separately and then fit into a 5,25" disk drive bay
of any regular PC.
</para>
<para>
Adjust the 'Device' key in the [imon] section of /etc/LCDd.conf as
necessary, depending on what device is file created by the kernel module
when loaded (this may depend on your system configuration).
The iMON VFD sports a vacuum fluorescent display with 16x2 characters
that connects to the computer using USB. Although the device is shipped
with an IR remote control and some versions even have a volume knob,
<package>LCDproc</package>'s driver currently only supports the display
part of the device.
