Comment 1 for bug 63488

I am surprised that no one has confirmed this bug. To me this is a critical bug for those who use the Lcdproc package.

I just wanted to mention that his patch to LCDd works, I was pulling my hair out trying to find a work around. For me i would start LCDd with the -d option using my lcd driver. Then I would try to attach lcdproc to it, but it would fail, at least I know that it is a problem with lcdproc.

In fact I will be filing another bug report to lcdproc as it still fails, I am using AMD64. I have to restart LCDd a few times before lcdproc shows up, and doesn't fail.
