Hi

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 (64 bit) on an athlon x2 4600, abit a-s78h system using the onboard ati HD3200. I have an antec micro fusion case with RM100 remote and 0038 LCD.

I have followed the instructions from Cofin, but at this point:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source

I get:

Code:

ali@ali-desktop:~/lirc$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source
Removing all DKMS Modules
Done.
Adding Module to DKMS build system
Doing initial module build

Error!  Build of lirc_imon.ko failed for: 2.6.27-11-generic (x86_64)
Consult the make.log in the build directory
/var/lib/dkms/lirc/0.8.3/build/ for more information.
Installing initial module

Error! Could not locate lirc_atiusb.ko for module lirc in the DKMS tree.
You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.27-11-generic (x86_64) first.
Done.
ali@ali-desktop:~/lirc$

I know this has been covered earlier in the thread, so to get round the issue i downloaded the source packages from ubuntu repos, and followed the instructions here:http://sites.google.com/site/it1stop/Hom...mote?pli=1 Which i believe essentially applies the same patches as cofin's solution.

If i do the clock commands, i can get the ugly clock, and can make it disappear again (yay!) I have also got the RM100 remote working, with all the button presses being registered in IRW.

I have then gone through the processes described by cofin for installing LCDproc, but when i restart (after completing the instructions) there is only random garbage displayed on the LCD. This garbage ranges from single pixels flashing to incorrect time being displayed eg. 36:98 PM (useful!)

There is a picture of my problem here: http://codeka.com/forums/download.php?id=7, hopefully someone will recognise it and know whats going on!. I'm quite new to linux and really stumped as to whats going on, so im not sure what information you guys need from me to see whats wrong.

I would be really grateful if you could help me out as i'm starting to lose hope!

THANKS!

p.s. the lcd works in vista so i assume its not a hardware problem!
