[mythtvnz] LIRC Problem, Fixed

Hi All,

I've posted my lirc battle here a week ago, and am pleased to let you know,
it's all working. After some searching through the logs I found that the
lirc_serial module did not want to load. The error was "kobject_add failed
for lirc_serial.0 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same
name in the same directory." Which found to be quite vague.

I was not able to find any info on the WEB, or narrow down the failure more
so I gave the Nova-S IR receiver a go. Funnily enough all the number keys
already worked, without LIRC even running so I was majorly confused. So
after more research I found that there is actually a keyboard for the Nova-S
IR receiver, and it works out of the box with X!  Nice of course, but I
decided that LIRC gives a bit more flexibiliity.

So I tried to get lirc to work, and struggled a bit. I found a simple
mistake in my lirc.conf and now it's a all go.

Cheers,
Johan.
