I have problems getting my ATI Remote Wonder I/II to work on my myth 
0.21 frontend running on Fedora 10.

I use the same ~/.lircrc and /etc/lircd.conf configuration in my 
other two FEs (one Fedora 8 and the other Fedora 9) so I do not 
believe that is the problem. Looking at /var/log/messages do see that 
there is confusion between /dev/lirc and /dev/lircd causing a failure 
to initialize the hardware (see "could not get file information for 
/dev/lirc").

I have tried numerous experiments with /etc/sysconfig/lirc and 
/etc/udev/rules.d/lirc.rules with no success. Any ideas?
