If you go to www.lirc.org and look on the home page under "Home-brew", you'll find several options. Personally, I built this one: http://www.lirc.org/receivers.html For transmission, I have built the second one down on this page: http://www.lirc.org/transmitters.html >RTC: > >The kernel looks as if it's compiled with rtc built in. a quick grep on >the curent kernel config shows this: You are correct. Your settings look a lot like mine (2.6.11): # CONFIG_HPET_TIMER is not set # CONFIG_HPET is not set CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y CONFIG_RTC=m CONFIG_GEN_RTC=m CONFIG_GEN_RTC_X=y CONFIG_SENSORS_RTC8564=m CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER=m So I'm not sure why it's not working for you. Maybe try Googling the error message you're getting. (By the way, unless you're giving away personal info or going off on a tangent, it's usually a good idea to reply to the list, not just the individual who replied to your initial post. That way everyone can benefit from the discussion.
