The problem is the original source doesn't work with the newer MCE remotes. If you look for one of my previous posts, then you will see a newer lirc_mceusb.c attached that you will need to overwrite the existing file.
Since I don't use Fedora Core, I can't tell you the best way to get it running. The easiest way would be to download version 0.7.0 of lirc from www.lirc.org, overwrite the lirc_mceusb.c file with the newer one, compile the new version, copy the new lirc_dev.ko and lirc_mceusb.ko over the existing lirc modules (Make sure to make a backup copy of the original module files). They should be located in /lib/modules/*your kernel version*/misc/ After that you can either unload the lirc_mseusb and lirc_dev modules and reload them, or you can reboot your system let the modules be loaded at startup. (Assuming you have the appropriate entries in modules autoloading config file.) --- Darren Richards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I guess I don't understand...
