Title:
  lcdproc: Futaba dm-140gink VFD device needs driver

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
    Versions-Tabelle:
   *** 0.5.2-0ubuntu2 0
          500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/universe Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  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
