[mythtv-users] Fedora 11 and lirc

[Cram Rigby]

Thanks for the link to the new kernel.  The kernel modules I use are
from atrpms: alsa-kmdl-2.6.29.4-167.fc11 and
nvidia-graphics185.18.14-kmdl-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.  Never heard of the
auto-rebuild dkms-like packages.  Will look into it.  Any pointers to
get that to work in F11?  Thanks again.
