</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>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br><br></div></div>Very generous! thanks for all the hard work you've put into this.<div class="Ih2E3d"><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></div>What would the"right location" represent? I've done a search for Lirc files and don't see any lircd.conf or hardware.conf files?<br>
<br>Any thoughts?<br><br><br>
</blockquote></div><br>Scratch my last post.. duh it finally dawned on me.<br><br>Can I test this without using Myth at the moment? this is a fresh install and just want to see if she's working.<br><br>Also, Davids post earlier referred to turning off the backlight and I see his suggestions are a little different than yours are they basically the same processes? Can I simply add the lines <b>backlight=0 </b>into the hardware.conf file?<br>
<br><b>To get lirc to automatically detect the display as an LCD instead of a<br>
VFD, you need to use lirc from CVS. Specifically, you need revision<br>
1.32 or later of lirc_imon.c. If you don't want to use all unreleased<br>
lirc, just drop that one file into lirc-0.8.4a. I'm actually using it<br>
with lirc-0.8.3.<br><br>
To get lcdproc to correctly use the graphical display, you need to<br>
apply the pactch at<br><a href="http://codeka.com/blogs/imon/lcdproc-0.5.2-imonlcd-0.3.patch" target="_blank">http://codeka.com/blogs/imon/lcdproc-0.5.2-imonlcd-0.3.patch</a>. Then<br>
set the driver to be "imonlcd" in LCDd.conf. You can turn the<br>
backlight off by setting "backlight=0" in the "[imonlcd]" section of<br>
LCDd.conf.</b>
