Well, I thought I had it figured out.  I see that the new xorg-x11
that got installed has new support for ivtv and xvmc.  I read
somewhere that it requires the latest kernel, which also has new
support for ivtv, but which I hadn't updated.  So I was hoping that a
new kernel would do the trick, but all I succeeded in doing was
breaking my remote control, even with a new matching lirc-kmdl
(kmdl=kernel module).

What I don't understand is whether I still need the ivtv-kmdl now that
the new kernel has this built in.  I'm thinking no, but then why would
it exist?  Anybody?

Thanks,
Tom
