Since I used apt-get to install lirc and mythtv-suite, I take it that is would be EXTREMELY difficult for me to compile this new driver into lirc especially since I have never compiled anything in my entire life (except for those 2 semesters in college compiling C code that barely worked). As I understand it, mythtv-suite already has the lirc-lib included. Is there a way around all this? Does anyone know? My version of the mce_usb driver is listed as v0.2 but doesn't mention anything about this Dan Conti. Also, on ATRPMs it looks like Axel last updated the lirc drivers on Mar 5th 12:27 CET. Could you tell me how you were able to get your MCE IR receiver up and working (assuming I have the right driver). What did you put in your /etc/modprobe.conf? I didn't have a /dev/lirc0 only a /dev/lircd so in my rc.local I put these statements in:
ln -s /dev/lircd /dev/lirc0 chmod 666 /dev/lirc0 /sbin/modprobe lirc_mceusb /usr/sbin/lircd --device=/dev/lirc0 --output=/dev/lircd Am I incorrect? Should I be doing something different? Thanks!
