I think the garbage originates from TimeWide21 / TimeWide22 settings within LCD.xml.
I setup my LCD at the weekend and noticed the same as you guys, so I had a look in LCD.xml and noticed these two lines were set to display when idle / screensaver on.
I'm pretty sure I remember changing it to display text or system.time etc.. and it was ok then..
Edit - after reading the trac ticket it seems that you guys have a slightly different issue... mine is that the big clock displays as garbage :/

Can developers add a lcdproc server setting? The "localhost" hard coded in the xbmc/linux/XLCDproc.cpp is really really not convenient.

Hi. Not sure if this is the right thread to post in, but anyway...
I have a Silverstone LC16M case, which includes a Soundgraph iMon VFD display. I have this working with LCDproc in Ubuntu (Karmic), and it displays the standard LCDproc server message, with Ci: 0 Scr: 0
When I open XBMC, and try to "Enable VFD/LCD" in system settings, it crashes (freezes), and I have to restart. The VFD doesn't change. Any ideas?

I just had a similar issue. What helped me was to change "<haslcd>" in guisettings.xml from false to true.
