        Are you running lcdproc-dev?
        Did you start the service in Status: Services:? The config is confusingly labelled in my opinion.

            what com port should it be on?
            like usb com port 1? Serial com port 1 or 2 under /dev/cau0/1 or what?

            Also what driver should I be using because right now its setting at pyramid?

              Should be the parallel port and the driver is named "Watchguard Firebox with SDEC". If that does not show up, you don't have lcdproc-dev.
