KnoppMyth does not install a lirc-compiled MythTV by default.  You can 
install the lirc version with any of the following packages:

/home/mythtv/r4v2_src/mythtv-0.14/pkgs/i586/mythtv-i586-lirc-xvmc_0.14-1_i38 
6.deb
/home/mythtv/r4v2_src/mythtv-0.14/pkgs/i586/mythtv-i586-lirc_0.14-1_i386.deb
/home/mythtv/r4v2_src/mythtv-0.14/pkgs/i686/mythtv-i686-lirc-xvmc_0.14-1_i38 
6.deb
/home/mythtv/r4v2_src/mythtv-0.14/pkgs/i686/mythtv-i686-lirc_0.14-1_i386.deb

You will want to install one that is appropriate for your processor and 
xvmc environment.
