I agree with Scott that before any patch is submitted to LIRC or 
elsewhere we need to identify the problem.

My understanding was that Scott was able to use the pinnacle remote in 
the laptop AFTER patching the driver.
If it worked in 7.10 on the laptop without patching the driver then I 
misunderstood.

Scott, did you have to patch the driver on the laptop or did the 
Pinnacle remote "just work"?
