The display and remote work just fine with XBMC/Linux, I have the Fusion Remote myself.

On my (Gentoo) system I used the current CVS-version of lirc and lcdproc-0.5.3, with these versions I'm 100% sure that everything's supported properly.

Maybe this'll give you some hints on how to install.

First lirc:

Code:

./configure
[i]Select Driver Configuration -> USB-Devices -> Soundgraph iMON IR/LCD[/i]
make
make install

As soon as you do "modprobe lirc_imon" you should get /dev/lirc0 and /dev/lcd0

In the folder remotes/imon/ are sample lircd configs for this device.

One important thing remains - the usb device acts as a HID device, thus it's being handled by the Kernel's HID driver, you have to prevent that by adding

Code:

options usbhid quirks=0x15c2:0x0038:0x04

to /etc/modprobe.conf or wherever Ubuntu needs that.

Installing lcdproc isn't too hard either:

Code:

./configure --enable-drivers=imon,imonlcd
make
make install

The parts in LCDd.conf that may differ from the default:

Code:

DriverPath=/usr/local/lib/lcdproc/
Driver=imonlcd
ServerScreen=no

LCDd is started with

Code:

/usr/local/sbin/LCDd -c /etc/LCDd.conf

The only thing I am now struggling with is scrolling speed on the display, the LCD is a little sluggish and xbmc (or LCDd?) scrolls so fast everything get's blurry, but adjusting the TitleSpeed value in LCDd.conf didn't help...

Good Luck!
