Hi, on account of the lirc_gpio functionality: there's a GREAT lirc patch for 2.6 kernels somewhere on the net - i really don't know where i saw it - just google it out - you'll find it.
to patch: # pwd /usr/src/linux-2.6.1 # pathc -p1 < /path/to/patch/file It adds full support for lirc (all the needed modules) to the 2.6 kernels (although i think that the binaries (lircd and lircmd) wont compile on 2.6 kernels and have to be compile don 2.4) On Wed, 21 Jan 2004 07:58:12 -0700 Collins Richey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, 20 Jan 2004 10:09:09 -0600 > "Canek Pel�ez Vald�s" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > The thing is, I use various modules and subsystems, and I need to know > > if they work in 2.6.x.
