Hey guys I'm hoping someone can set me straight on the lirc file that
is needed for Myth... I'm using the Antec Fusion with an LCD.

What's the difference between the lirc file in my ubuntu 8.10 install
that lives in /etc/lirc and the file requested by myth to be in /myth
directory?

When I start irw and turn the knob on the front of the case I can see
the output in a terminal and the LCD is displaying "LCDproc Server" so
I'm assuming it's good to go. I have a universal remote that used to
work similar to the grey remote with an Hauppauge Pvr250 so I'm hoping
I can find the lirc file that will allow me to not reprogram the
remote...

Thanks,
