Run the update manager and upgrade Ubuntu to 7.10 (gutsy). Unless you 
have some weird hardware that you can't find newer drivers for.

My Myth box was Edgy, and I was always having to manually compile ivtv, 
lirc, and nvidia every time I did a kernel upgprade.  After upgrading to 
Gutsy, everything "just worked" and I didn't have to manually compile 
anything anymore. Not to mention the included supplemental video players 
(mplayer, etc) are much more capable.

I did have to manually compile nvidia one last time (after upgrading to 
7.04 Feisty since you have to go one release at a time) in order to get 
into the GUI to finish the upgrade to Gutsy.
