xbmc and imonlcd - backlight does not turn off on shutdown

Some time ago, I bought an Antec Fusion Remote HTPC case which contains an imon lcd display from Soundgraph (http://www.soundgraph.com/oem-lcd-feature-en/)

After lots of testing and reading, following changes to LCDd.conf config did the trick for me:


Driver=imonlcd

Hello=""

GoodBye=""

#GoodBye="Thanks for using"

#GoodBye="   LCDproc!"

ServerScreen=no

#Backlight=open

## Soundgraph iMON LCD ##

[imonlcd]

# Specify which iMon protocol should be used [legal: 0=15c2:ffdc device,

# 1=15c2:0038 device; default: 0]

Protocol=1

# Set the exit behavior [legal: 0=leave shutdown message, 1=show the big clock,

# 2=blank device; default: 1]

OnExit=2

# Select the output device to use [default: /dev/lcd0]

Device=/dev/lcd0

# Select the displays contrast [default: 200; legal: 0-1000]

Contrast=200

# Specify the size of the display in pixels [default: 96x16]

#Size=96x16

# Set the backlight state [default: on; legal: on, off]

#Backlight=on

# Set the disc mode [legal: 0=spin the "slim" disc - two disc segments,

# 1=their complement spinning; default: 0]

#DiscMode=0

tip: when you're using openelec, changes to these files should be done under /storage/.config/. If the file doesn't exist, you should copy or create it from /etc.
