Install the Latest CVS Mythtv on Mandrake 9.1 today since I just received my new install discs.

I have this box running as my server and need to run LIRC with my home brew transmitter to send commands to my Star Choice Satellite box.

First I uninstalled LIRC that Mandrake puts in, and downloaded and compiled LIRC 0.7.0pre1.
Everything seemed fine at first, then I was getting weird things like root not being able to change channels, but a regular user can.
I tracked it down to the LIRC modules from Mandrake still hanging around.
So I uninstalled LIRC and deleted the directory
/lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/3rdparty/lirc
Then reinstalled the LIRC 0.7 and everything worked great.
