A quick question, is there a neater way of getting the below to work?

If not others may find the same usefull.

I have a hauppauge Nova-T and PVR-350 working perfectly, due however 
to the awkwardness of hauppague in updating
the Nova-T I've had to go with the latest version of video4linux 
(20050125) which doesn't play nicely with ivtv, depending on which
card was loaded first the second wouldn't load, to get round this
I moved the tveeprom.ko from ivtv to tveeprom-ivtv.ko, this then
broke the nova-t eeprom detection. 

So to get round this I then created the following modprobe.conf files

::::::::::::::
modprobe.conf.ivtv
::::::::::::::
#
# please add local extensions to this file
# ivtv modprobe.conf file
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv

options ivtv ivtv_debug=0 ivtv_std=2

::::::::::::::
modprobe.conf.local
::::::::::::::
#
# please add local extensions to this file
#
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c

install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb;/sbin/modprobe cx88-dvb;
/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c
install ivtv-fb /sbin/modprobe -C /etc/modprobe.conf.ivtv ivtv;
/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv-fb
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe -C /etc/modprobe.conf.nova-t --ignore-install
cx88-dVb

::::::::::::::
modprobe.conf.nova-t
::::::::::::::
#
# please add local extensions to this file
# Nova-T modprobe.conf file

This works perfectly every time :-)
