...which requires some effort to make everything work. Ron Frazier's got
details here:

(see step 5)

With that, I'm now getting IR signals for at least a good portion of the
buttons on the remote that came w/the thing, using the imon-pad remote
def file in cvs right now. May need to move to a full 8-byte buffer
config to get everything working. (None of the front-panel buttons are
coming through at the moment and a few keys do nothing).

According to Ron, lcd1 simply points to the same usb endpoint, so lcd0
and lcd1 should behave the same. Worth eliminating the extraneous one at
some point, but eh. Lower priority than some other things...

So yeah, basic IR and LCD output are now working.
