Last time I tried using lirc strictly from Fedora, I had problems with
the lirc_serial driver. IIRC, at some point in time it wasn't included
with the kernel. I see that it is now on my Fedora 8 machine, so I'll
try removing the ATrpms versions of lirc and see if the upstream
versions work.

Looks like I need to grab the latest lirc from koji - not showing up
in updates-testing yet.
