I just followed your suggestion and installed everything, I am using 
sarge and the names are the same.

I did not know I needed all these packages, as I do compile my own 
kernel, I thought I had all the needed packages for compile time.
Guess you learn something everyday, maybe I will down the road make a 
debian package out of it, so it will be installed with dpkg.

Seems like my CrystalFontz 634 is picky about what client it likes. 
lcd4linux, lcdproc are problem childs on this setup. I guess I need 
to hit the mailing lists and see what I can dig up, so far its not 
looking good. I did find another 634 user with simillar problems as 
me but no solution.

Thanks;
