[mythtv-users] Configuring ATI Remote Wonder to Work on Fedora 11

I have done a clean install of Fedora 11 and reloaded myth on a small 
client. My last issue is to get my ATI Remote Wonder working 
properly. I have a standard lircd.conf and .lircrc that I network 
mount from my MBE and have working reliably on another very similar 
client (Fedora 10).

My remote sort of works but has problems. The cursor keys work, 
NUMBERS, and POWER works, but the PLAY, PAUSE, FF, REW, OK, and STOP do not.

I understand that modprobe modules have been changing significantly 
in these new releases of Fedora.

Any ideas?
