You don't *need* to remove them. You simply need to install the lirc_dev and lirc_ene0100 modules built from cvs into a module path with higher precedence and run depmod to update module dependency info, and the newer one will get used. Of course, if you subsequently try loading one of the other modules, it may well puke on itself, due to an lirc_dev mismatch, so maybe removing the ubuntu-provided bits isn't such a bad idea after all... -- Jarod Wilson ja...@wi... |
