I just looked on ATRPMs website and there is no listing for getting the source code for the lirc drivers. There is also no mention of exactly what "CVS version" I am using (0.7.0pre 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8). I know that I have lirc 0.7.0-45 from ATRPMs but other than that, I have no idea. Anyone know what version I could be running? I would LOVE to get this remote going so I could move on to bugging the list about other problems! :-) Thanks!
