There is a shortcoming of the configurability of the rpm packages
(e.g. you need to modify the startup scripts which are overwritten by
the next rpm update). There are patches by Tom Hughes (thanks!) in

     http://bugzilla.atrpms.net/show_bug.cgi?id=3D395

which address this, e.g. command line arguments to lircd will be added
to /etc/sysconfig/lircd as LIRCD_OPTIONS=3D"--driver=3Dpixelview ..."
