I followed the instructions given in <a href="mailto:jarod@wilsonet.com">Jarod C. Wilson</a>'s guide.Therefore, my kernel version is 2.6.14-1_1656_FC4. The "0.8.0-CVS" lirc version are obtained from the ATrpms together with the kernel modules as directed in the guide.
<br><br>As for the LIRC_OPTS variable, this is the first time I have heard of it. Where to I check that and how should I set it. One more thing, I discovered that I do not have /dev/lirc rather I have /dev/lircd. Is this normal?
