lirc is pulling in cx88xx, and doesn't seem to work without it on
2.6.12*FC3 kernels for me with a pvr350. Using the kernel tveeprom
allows this to happen without issue. bttv used to get pulled in for me
at some point too, but it doesn't cause any problems.

I'm pretty sure that's only true for the 0.2 versions NOT the 0.3.8 /
now 0.4 versions (the default) from atrpms, thus him getting the
errors.

It will cause lirc not to work on 0.3.* / 2.6.12*FC3 with a pvr350 at
least for me.

This is not correct for tveeprom I think. It should work anyways.

Again, I don't think that's correct since he's using 0.4 not 0.2.

He's better off using the kernel tveeprom which should work fine.
