Keep only the default kernel and kernel module. You can safely delete all the other flavors, they won't be used. > Secondly, I found an online how-to for installing Mythtv to Suse 10.0 > that advises removing the lirc packaged with Suse, and > compiling/installing lirc from source.

I have mythtv under 10.2 and the same remote and it works with the stock lirc package (lirc-0.8.0-41). > I'm nearly ready to give up, reformat, and try again from scratch, but > I'm hoping to avoid that. If you are going to reformat, I would suggest installing 10.2 That works for me, at least. I have also tried 10.3 but couldn't find a working X driver for my PVR-350. I didn't get as far as trying the remote, so I can't help with that, unfortunately. I'm not going to try upgrading anytime soon, I'm happy with how things work under 10.2. I prefer stability with my myth box. Tom -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
