does anyone have ir-keytable compiled for 6.6 where scan

I've been using lirc on CentOS 6 for quite awhile now. The
ir-keytable from the packages I use (see below) seem to work fine:<br>
<br>
$ir-keytable<br>
Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event12) with:<br>
Driver mceusb, table rc-rc6-mce<br>
Supported protocols: NEC RC-5 RC-6 JVC SONY LIRC<br>
Enabled protocols: LIRC<br>
Name: Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared<br>
bus: 3, vendor/product: 0471:0815, version: 0x0000<br>
Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 33 ms<br>
<br>
However, I never really used ir-keytable extensively so I can't say
how well it works.<br>

from fine working Fedora 12 with LIRC recognizing 3 remotes

been a disaster. I finally gave up on LIRC on centOS thinking
the ir-keytable would work, it sort-of works. Hours and
hours have been spent trying to get back functionality that I
previous enjoyed and took for granted. I thought going to
centOS would give me stability. Nothing but a headache. </div>

I'm using the kernel driver and lircd. Been working for me. <br>
<br>
However my experience on my ECS Liva with Fedora 22 has been
miserable. But that's for another thread.<br>
