 Is there a driver in linux that will support it?

OMG!!! It's still alive!!!

It was a product designed by a company I used to work for. If you can't
get it to work, I can still contact the programmer who wrote the Windows
95 drivers for it and try and get some info from him.

It works with lirc.

If your remote control is not already in lirc database, you need to 
record it with irrecord. Then, any program that supports lirc will work 
with the remote. For other programs you might need some tricks.

Re: Driver for Infrared Device

2007-03-24 Thread Tzahi Fadida
I am trying to install lirc, however, i am having trouble compiling the 
modules.
I have kubuntu edgy. I installed the linux-source package which is the same 
version of the kernel i am using. I copied the debian/config to .config and 
make oldconfig  make modules

then i downloaded from sourceforge lirc 0.8.1 and ./configure
left the default serial and let it run the configure.
Then, make  make install.
However, when i try to modprobe the lirc_serial i get:
WARNING: Error inserting lirc_dev 
(/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-386/misc/lirc_dev.ko): Invalid module format
FATAL: Error inserting lirc_serial 
(/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-386/misc/lirc_serial.ko): Invalid module format

I don't understand, i used the same kernel version sources with their ubuntu 
patched. Not a generic kernel.
What am i doing wrong.
10x.
