HTPC lcd display changing device names at boot

I'm having troubles with configuring LCD panel on my HTPC casing lcd display.
It is constantly swapping between /dev/lcd0 and /dev/lcd1 device names every boot, making it work only sometimes, when the device name matches the device described in LCDd.conf
I have Antec Veris remote casing with imon driver. Is there possibility to force system to use only either /dev/lcd0 or /dev/lcd1

Re: HTPC lcd display changing device names at boot

Use udev rules to make a persistent name (like how /dev/sda can also be found in /dev/disk/by-*) and then direct LCDd.conf to that persistend name rather than /dev/lcd*

This will be a good place to start your quest: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ud … vice_names
