[mythtv-users] MCE USB Lirc Problems

[Dan Conti]

I would recommend building from the lirc 0.7pre4 sources. You can download
the cvs snapshot from www.lirc.org. There have been significant updates to
the mceusb driver specifically since the 02/08/04 snapshot you have.

If you install 0.7pre4 and still have problems with the driver, you can mail
me off list and we can work through it.
