    So I do, and so I did. I downloaded the lirc source, then ran make 
install from the drivers directory. One setserial call later, the module 
was all ready to install.

    So my problem now is figuring out how to bind the buttons I 
programmed in irrecord to MythTV. I found lircrc.example file and 
changed all the "Button" entries to match what I have in 
/etc/lircd.conf, but the remote has no affect on the front end. Is it 
supposed to? I've tried calling the file ~/.lircrc, ~/.mythtv/.lircrc 
and ~/.mythtv/lircrc which seem to fit all the combinations from all the 
documentation sprawled across the net, but none of them seem to work.
