I have a Silverstone case that uses the same iMon LCD that I would like to get working (I don't particularly care about the IR receiver).  It uses the SoundGraph 15c2:0038 device.  I have looked at the blog instructions above and the included links, and have a few questions/concerns.

The instructions state to first remove the existing lirc from the system using apt-get remove lirc.  If I do this, apt-get will also remove several Mythtv components (dependency issues I think).  Since I will be installing a new lirc that I build from source (and not using apt-get), when I try to re-add the previously removed Mythtv components using apt-get, won't apt-get also want to re-install the distro's lirc?  Would it be better to NOT remove the distro's lirc and simply install my version on top of it?  The instructions do not address these issues.  I'm running Mythbuntu 8.10 0.21-fixes.
