That doesn't seem so bad. I bet I still had some residue from uninstalling
Mandrake's stuff. I'll try it again with a clear head and not after
midnight.

Thanks,
DAM

First urpme lirc to get rid of the Mandrake lirc package.
If you have installed lirc from source, also 'make uninstall' from the lirc
source directory. Delete the lirc directory from the 3rdparty directory. Do
a locate lirc to find the path. Then run setup.sh in the lirc source
directory Select home brew, com port check off Transmitter diode. Save /
make / make install

In rc.local 
setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none	//you will need to urpmi setserial in
Mandrake.
modprobe lirc_serial
lircd

This is all from memory, so I hope I got all the basic steps for you.

Cheers..
