Need anything else?

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Confirmed
Status in “lcdproc” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: lcdproc


1) $ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 8.10
Release:	8.10

2) $ apt-cache policy lcdproc
lcdproc:
  Installiert: 0.5.2-0ubuntu2
  Kandidat: 0.5.2-0ubuntu2

3) I expected that my VFD (Futaba dm-140gink) will work with lcdproc.

4) The device was not supported by this version of lcdproc package.

I found a ppa with a working package (0.5.2-0ubuntu2pavka4) here:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/pavkamlc/ubuntu

Please activate support for dm-140 in regular package.

thx
