Personally, I'd dispense with LIRC until you can get the TV card working.
Makes sense.
If LIRC really is missing modules, your kernel config should look
something like this:
<M> I2C support
<M> I2C bit-banging
<M> I2C device interfaces
<M> I2C /proc
<M> Video for Linux
<M> BT848 Video for Linux
I couldn't find all of these modules under modconf for 2.6 kernel.
As for the mythtv part of it. When I try to watch TV I get a rather
unresponsive black screen.
Have you tried watching TV outside of Myth? It's generally alot easier
to test your TV card with cat /dev/video0 or mplayer before you hurry
into Myth. A straight black screen usually means you've loaded your
modules wrong (typically specifying the wrong tuner type). Once you get
static, you're in business ;)
It appears that xine works, but I have no TV device to work with.
And Mplayer works but the ALSA sound it's trying to attach doesn't seem
to work. I had throught this was working but there's nothing in the
kernel configuration for this. Again, there isn't anything in modconf
to support ALSA either.
I thought ALSA was provided in the 2.6 kernel?
uname -r
2.6.7-1-k7
TBH though, troubleshooting issues like this is a very hit-and-miss
process. Post some more info about your setup (card revision, ivtv
version, ivtv module loader, etc) things should be easier to
troubleshoot; you might also want to consider joining the mythtv-users
mailing list, which has proved invaluable in getting my Myth box into a
usable state (esp. with regard to getting a PAL version running, as
these have slightly different module configs).

ivtv - NFC. Didn't even know I had one.
