Yeah, I was just using irw to test - I have read several times that
irw is not used with Myth.  Also, yes, I am running mythfrontend as
root.

I did a make clean all around, ran configure with the --enable-lirc
option, the recompiled and installed.
A few (but not all) of my remote buttons are working now and lircd
shows a new connection when I start the frontend.

For the buttons that don't work, I must having something messed up in
my .mythtv/lircrc file

Thanks
Dave
