Now I'm rather confused. If you don't have /etc/lircd.conf, how can you
expect lirc to work. Are you saying that a 'yum update' removed it?

Anyway, if you have the Microsoft USB IR unit, you probably want
/usr/share/doc/lirc-0.8.1/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb, which is
part of the lirc RPM.

Don't forget that you'll still need ~/.lircrc. If you once had lirc
working, you'll probably still have that file.
