Sorry for the double post.
I read over that page I linked again, and running lets you pick the remote type to use.
Following the rest of the page got the remote and VFD working very quickly, but upon reboot I'm getting a very small box which is impossible to read on my TV. I can make out "OpenGL" and "graphics drivers" and it has a large OK box. Pressing it dumps me to a command line.
I thought it all sounded far too easy!
Edit: Some Googling reveals the message to say:
I'm wondering if it's trying to output to the LCD for some reason and getting confused!
Edit 2: Turns out the issue was because I'd done an "apt-get upgrade" which upgraded xorg and broke it. I reinstalled from scratch and all is good. I now have a working imon remote and VFD, done MUCH more easily than the first post. I'll write up the steps in the next few minutes...
