Pyramid - Driver or Configuration Issue?

I'm pretty new to LCDproc so please bear with me. I am trying to program a
Pyramid based LCD on a machine that is running FreeBSD (8.1) based O/S.


If I run usbconfig on the machine I get the following output

ugen0.1: <UHCI root HUB Intel> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps)
pwr=ON
ugen1.1: <UHCI root HUB Intel> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps)
pwr=ON
ugen2.1: <UHCI root HUB Intel> at usbus2, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps)
pwr=ON
ugen3.1: <EHCI root HUB Intel> at usbus3, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps)
pwr=ON
ugen4.1: <UHCI root HUB Intel> at usbus4, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps)
pwr=ON
ugen5.1: <UHCI root HUB Intel> at usbus5, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps)
pwr=ON
ugen6.1: <UHCI root HUB Intel> at usbus6, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps)
pwr=ON
ugen7.1: <EHCI root HUB Intel> at usbus7, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps)
pwr=ON
*ugen6.2: <KBS USB LCD Display KBS> at usbus6, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL
(12Mbps) pwr=ON*

So I have configured my device in the LCDd.conf file as /dev/ugen6.2 under
the pyramid section.

I cannot seem to get the LCDd to talk to the LCD display and get the
following errors

"pyramid: reading TTY failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Driver [pyramid] init failed, return code -1
Could not load driver pyramid
There is no output driver
Critical error while initializing, abort."


So my question to you guys is, is this just a configuration issue and I
need to add something else to the conf file, or is this a driver issue? If
the latter do I need to write another driver or do you know if one exists
for this?

thanks in advance for any light you can shed.
