i) I think I've stumbled upon 1 problem which might be related, I found the the partial remote support I did have worked even when lircd wasn't running then I found what I believe to be the remote being detected as a usb keyboard and mouse.....

Also I noticed no ir traffic using irw

ii) I had tried this previously but I'm getting errors compiling the standalone VFD

I cant find either config.h OR devfs_fs_kernel.h anywhere on the filesystem, I've got both kernel-devel & kernel-headers installed
