I'm not an expert but in the /etc/LCDd.conf the imonlcd wasn't mentioned. When I set the driver to imon with the the ServerScreen set to yes nothing was displayed. I found this page so I supposed there are still two different drivers: http://lcdproc.sourceforge.net/docs/stable-0-5-x-user.html#imonlcd-howto > That could mean that imon in Wheezy's lcdproc is the same as imonlcd. > It's not listed in Wheezy lcdproc-extra-drivers. > > You could try the Sid package eg:- > add testing to your sources list > # apt-get update > # apt-get -st unstable install lcdproc | less > > And just see what's going to happen (it may not require backporting - > you don't say which kernel version you're running) I'm using Squeeze with the backports kernel linux-image-amd64 which was updated today to 3.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64. That's a great idea! I've never thought of using a package from testing. Until some days ago I wasn't even brave enough to use backports :-) > If looks ok just proceed. > > Don't forget to remove testing from /etc/apt/sources.list afterwards and > then apt-get update. With the package from testing the imonlcd driver is available :-D I've already tested it and it works. Thanks alot for your help! If I understand the idea behind backports correct wouldn't it be useful to have this package in there too? >> I found help on how to compile it with the needed driver.

I'd check dependencies first.
