[mythtv-users] ECS Liva for frontend - brief report

[Roger Heflin]

I had to add into /etc/dracut.conf this like so dracut created the
initramfs with the mmc driver in it:

add_drivers+="mmc_core sdhci_acpi sdhci mmc_block"

By default on fedora 20 it did not include the drivers for it so
failed to boot.   Others have indicated that with updated fedora 20 it
does include the correct modules, but that would also mean that it may
not work on other distributions under certain conditions.

And I had to modify the usb stuff on 3.16.6 to get the mce remote
control to work, the specific mce remote receiver I had did not work
without the patch I found that is not yet included in 3.17 either.
Otherwise it is found, but it never correctly gets the keypresses from
the remote.
