[mythtv-users] New remote

[Paul Miller]

Hi,

I maintain the lirc_atiusb driver for lirc.  You should not have to do 
anything "special" to get it to work with lirc 0.7 or later.  Just 
compile it for your kernel.

As far as the kernel ati_remote driver, you can not use both!  
Whatever driver loads first will claim the usb device.  The 
lirc_atiusb is designed only for use with lirc, and the kernel driver 
is designed more for X, but can be used with lirc.  There is also a 
userspace lirc driver for ATI's remote wonder I.  I haven't tried it.
