[mythtv-users] Fedora 11 and lirc

[Cram Rigby]

Thanks Jarod.  I got lirc and the nvidia drivers update for the new
kernel, but not without some issues (kernel-firmware is a dependency I
couldn't find...I had to enable the rawhide repository for that).  For
others that might be following this thread, here are the commands I
used based on Jarod's suggestion to try RPM fusion's akmods:

sudo -s

# I had to temporarily disable package signing in /etc/yum.conf
# Change gpgcheck=1 to gpgcheck=0.  This is a workaround as one
# of the packages wasn't signed.  Don't forget to change it back.

My F10 -> F11 transition was definitely the most painful upgrade I've
done in a while.  I guess that's the price of staying on the bleeding
edge.  Hopefully things stabilize a bit in the coming months.  Thanks
again for your help.
