sudo apt-get install lirc (configure with the remote you want to use, i choose MCEUSB new Philips et al and emulated it with my logitech harmony 555)
sudo apt-get install dialog
sudo su
cd /usr/src
wget http://www.lirc.org/software/snapshots/l...e1.tar.bz2
tar xvfj lirc-0.8.6pre1
cd lirc-0.8.6pre1
sh setup.sh
Driver configuration(1) > IrDa/CIR hardware(6) > ITE IT8712/IT8705/IT8720 CIR port (3) and "save configuration & run configure" in first menu
make
make install
nano /etc/modules add lirc_dev and lirc_it87
nano /etc/lirc/hardware.conf change to this REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_it87"
reboot or restart lirc and it should work
otherwise try modprobe lirc_dev && modprobe lirc_it87 and see if you get /dev/lirc0 and try sudo mode2 /dev/lirc0 and press buttons on remote
And just like darkattraction wrote on #10
Quote:so I added in /etc/conf.d/lirc the option "-o /dev/lircd"To get irw to work you have to do this.
and I created a symlink /var/run/lirc/lircd to /dev/lircd as to check my remote with irw
