Hello,

I have a Fedora 7 system that was up to date as of May 24, 2008 and which
worked fine.

Today, I did a yum update of all available updates, resulting in the following
(entries from my yum.log) and now whenever I launch mythfrontend, X crashes
and I get a login screen:

Jun 15 11:21:03 Erased: lirc-lib

On the hunch that perhaps xorg-x11-server-Xorg might have been the culprit, I
backed it off to xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-9.fc7, but to no avail.

Does anyone know which package update has rendered mythfrontend unusable?  I
even tried to remove .mythtv and let it regenerate, but mythfrontend still
crashes immediately.

Here is the output from mythfrontend when it crashes:

Any help appreciated, thanks!
