<br>
thanks for the recommendations to use LIRC. Is it painless to switch<br>
from the kernel support to LIRC? Is there some Howto for
this? I'm<br>
really uneasy to fix something that's not broke (well, it is not <br>
working, agreed). I'm using the frontend on a Breezy Ubuntu, the<br>
backend is on a Debian.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Well, complete disclosure
requires the following to be said: There is a bit of work to be done switching
from kernel support to LIRC. But after doing the work, I was quite happy
to have made the extra effort.<br>
<br>
Here is how I started: I removed the LIRC package that had been loaded as part
of Fedora Core 3 installation. Then, I downloaded lirc-0.7.2 package from
<a href="http://lirc.org">lirc.org</a>. By following the documentation in
the lirc-0.7.2 package (and there is a lot of documentation scattered
throughout), I was able to make the switch.<br>
<br>
Before copying all my notes from the process, I recommend that you start with
the lirc-0.7.2 (or whatever is the latest) package and see how far you can get.<br>
Since you are using both Ubuntu AND Debian, I'll assume that you know your way
around Linux.<br>
<br>
Here's a hint: Only one of the kernel modules, ati_remote -and- lirc_atiusb,<br>
can be active. So, you must rename the ati_remote kernel module, AND then
you have to adjust the Ubuntu equivalent file for Fedora Core's
"/etc/modprobe.conf".<br>
<br>
By now, it might seem that LIRC isn't worth it, like it might be way too much
work. It isn't. The LIRC package is really WELL DONE. I have
no regrets whatsoever. In fact, the package is so good, I was able to
figure out how to have multiple ATI Remote Wonder remotes controlling multiple
MythTV systems. Having multiple MythTV systems using only the kernel
support might be a real challenge.<br>
