thanks for the reply.. anyway... i got it to work on debian woody without recompiling my 2.4.18-k7 kernel image... here are the steps i took (assuming xawtv is already installed)...
apt-get install lirc lirc-modules-source cd /usr/src ln -s kernel-source-2.4.18 linux cd linux #copy kernel-image-2.4.18-k7 configs to the linux source zcat /usr/share/doc/kernel-headers-2.4.18-k7/conf.vars.gz >conf.vars zcat /usr/share/doc/kernel-headers-2.4.18-k7/config-2.4.18-k7.gz >.config (modify Makefile so that our modules will be installed to existing kernel-image.. change EXTRAVERSION = -k7) make-kpkg --revision 10.00.Custom modules_image dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source #(here, we should pick lirc_gpio as our driver module, or just let it select the driver module given we have already setup lirc to use winfast tv2000) dpkg -i ../lirc-modules-2.4.18_0.6.5-1+10.00.Custom_i386.deb #test our installation /etc/init.d/lirc start irw #check if our keypress is reflected #upon our dpkg-reconfigure lirc, it copies the proper lircd.conf and lircmd.conf #for our winfast tv2000 card after this, xawtv should be able to respond to number keys on our remote... we only need to setup the other keys thru event table in ~.lircrc .. a sample of which is present in /usr/share/doc/xawtv/dot.lircrc hope this helps... :) now for some good night sleep... i'm starting to like debian :) --adrian Quoting Holden Hao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > We have the same TV card.
