Try this
Code:
aptitude purge lirc-nct*
That should remove the old driver
Then
dpkg -i "driver you want"
Thank you! It gave lots of errors like it was not started, but the remote is now working! I think I should leave well enough alone at this point. Earlier I tried installing Lucid and XBMC 9.11 and had everything working until I updated Linux, then the remote broke and the digital passthrough only worked very occasionally. This has been so much easier and I will elave it alone.
