If anyone else is slow like me... you need the libavc1394-devel rpmI sent this to Jarod a couple of days ago. I think it is accurate, at least before the .18 release. It may help some people, but if it is wrong, it's my fault.
from atrpms to compile this.
The bit about compiling 6200ch starts with [Sentence "At the moment, you'll have to compile it manually (directions are included w/the source)." ]
And no, I still haven't had time to expand on the LCDproc bit.

Found a few things that may need fixing/adding:
Kernel choices:
- - -
The "# apt-get install kernel=2.6.10-1.770_FC3" seems to try to get an older kernel than the one that comes in automatically with the "apt-get dist-upgrade" done previously. I believe it gets just 770, whereas the dist-upgrade gets 770_14.

Testing firewire capture: - - - Change: $ mplayer -vo xv testcapt.ts To: $ mplayer -vo xv testcap.ts (remove typo'd 't')
Sentence "At the moment, you'll have to compile it manually (directions are included w/the source)." probably needs to be expanded a bit, as the instructions provided there are still not enough. There are source/headers that need to be downloaded before even those will work. These worked for me (sorry, this is from memory, so it may still be wrong):
apt-get install libavc1394-devel apt-get install libraw1394-devel
After that, the compile instructions from the README will work. - - -
Get and install lirc: - - - Propose adding another section, "Using an IRMan receiver"
The IRMan, while a serial receiver, doesn't work the same way as the homebrew serial receivers. I don't know a "proper" way to use this device in FC3. IRMan uses a different command line to run, and I have been modifying the /etc/init.d/lircd file to remove the LIRCD_OPTIONS line and replace it with --driver=irman --device=/dev/ttyS0 (or S1, etc.). I think the char-major for a serial port is 4, but I don't think that is what is needed in modprobe.conf. I could be wrong, though.
I don't believe the IRMan has any problems loading too late like the other lirc devices, either.

Also, a section on downloading and installing LCDproc would be quite helpful. Unfortunately, it is after 2am, so I will not be working on this tonight. I'll try to get something put together some time this week and send it, if you think it is useful.
Hope these help.
Jeff.
