</div>Here are the messages I wrote regarding the lcd support in lirc 0.8.3<br>
that comes with ubuntu 8.10.<br>
<br>
For adding support of the LCD in stock lirc:<br>
"For those running Ubuntu (tested on Ubuntu 8.10 beta)<br>
<br>
I've made a patch to the existing lirc modules, the advantage being<br>
that they will be installed in the proper location, and it will be<br>
easier to maintain in the future.<br>
Patch is available there:<br>
<a href="http://www.avenard.org/mythtv/lirc-0.8.3.imon.patch" target="_blank">http://www.avenard.org/mythtv/lirc-0.8.3.imon.patch</a><br>
<br>
How to use it:<br>
<br>
# apt-get install lirc-modules-source<br>
# cd /usr/src/lirc-0.8.3<br>
# patch -p1 < /path/th/lirc-0.8.3.imon.patch<br>
# dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source<br>
<br>
either reboot or type:<br>
rmmod lirc_imon<br>
rmmod lirc_dev<br>
modprobe lirc_imon:<br>
<br>
Then, for getting the remote control to work in Linux with LIRC:<br>
<br>
"For people with an Antec Fusion Remote and the MX200 remote control.<br>
<br>
I've created a lircd configuration file for the buttons of that remote<br>
, including the volume knob. As well as the script to start everything<br>
automatically.<br>
<br>
The lirc script is it be copied into /etc/init.d<br>
and the other configuration files to be located in their right location.<br>
<br>
What it does is start two lircd daemon as described in this great blog.<br>
<br>
Creating it was a pain as if you make any mistakes during the irrecord<br>
you have to restart the configuration after starting/stopping lircd<br>
<br>
To start the lirc daemon, either reboot or type /etc/init.d/lirc start<br>
<br>
So this take the pain away from you ; enjoy<br>

<br>
Follow both steps , the simply create the right .lirc file for mythtv...<br>
full LCD and IR support for the Antec case<br>

<br>Any thoughts?<br><br><br>
