I don't believe receiving OM/MM/IM marker beacons on an ILS approach is 
required to fly that approach because you can locate all required positions 
using other means.  As evidence that this is correct, note that minimums are 
not raised when a marker beacon is NOTAMed out of service.  It appears that 
the FAA is phasing out marker beacons anyway.

To answer your specific question about what information is displayed on a 
screen, I have a Chelton system.  Although it has the ability to display 
marker beacon lights on the "attitude indicator" screen, nothing would show 
on the moving map screen.  It's irrelevant in my case because my marker 
beacon receiver is not compatible with the Chelton.  All required places 
along the ILS course are displayed on the Chelton as waypoints, independent 
of any marker beacons that might be there.

A question for the glass guys here.
If you are executing an ILS approach, do I assume correctly that the 
OM/MM/IM are displayed as waypoints on the screen?
If so, is a marker beacon receiver redundant/no longer required?
