Thanks, I will try to follow your advice. I asked on #mactel-linux IRC channel, as I assumed that it would be more active than the mailing list. :/ Also, the LIRC CVS already contains user space appleir support and a config file, so no patching should be required I guess. I think that some effort should be made on documenting how to get a working kernel and support for hardware inside an appletv. I remember that I had to read a forum thread in order to patch a vanilla kernel with the required patches. A start could be documenting the LIRC stuff in some organized way. -- Best regards Michael Wojciechowski It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, The hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning, It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
