"with-driver=hauppauge" tells it to compile the i2c support, without it it will normally compile only the serial support.<BR></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I don't know where FC4 stores these options but it looks like you have found the LIRCD spot, but you have put the LIRC option there. Try putting the character device from a "ls -al /dev/lirc*" listing in the LIRCD opts and testing with irw.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Looks like you are very close though.</DIV></BODY></HTML>
