</div>Just install your distro's lirc packages, and choose "default" as the driver<br>
type. Pick the mceusb lircd.conf. That's really about it.<br>
<br>
lirc 0.9.0 has no mceusb option because the mceusb driver is in the kernel<br>
now, there's no reason to build lirc_mceusb. Really, most people should just<br>
use their distro's packages, there's very little reason to compile any lirc<br>
bits from source yourself. However, lirc should probably have a new setup.sh<br>
target, something along the lines of "my kernel already provides a driver<br>
for me" to reduce confusion.<br>

aside from that, i cant find anything todo with 'default' either.<br><br>i'm at a loss on this one; i just cant get it working!<br></div></div>
