[mythtv-users] CKennedy ivtv drivers and modules.conf question

I'm using the latest ivtv (well, almost the latest) drivers from:

http://67.18.1.101/~ckennedy/ivtv/ivtv-0.3/

In an earlier post, someone suggested that the options in
/etc/modules.conf were no longer needed.  Here's what I have now:

alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
options tuner type=47
options saa7127 enable_output=1 output_select=0
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 saa7127 tuner
add above ivtv ivtv-fb
add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c

Does anyone have an example modules.conf or a guide on the proper
setup?  I'm getting some error messages in /var/log/syslog that I can't
explain, and lirc is giving me problems:

BTW, mythtv is working pretty well (all but the remote control).  Thanks
for the help,
Don
