ITE IT8712F

[Marius S. <ma...@ti...>]

Hi,

I joined the list yesterday and posted a little early regarding the above=

and a remotec bw6130. I am completely new to all things ird so please exc=
use
stupid questions.

I see that lirc 0.7.2 is now out, so will disregard the bw6130, except th=
at:
presumably, as long as I send at the right frequency I can use other remo=
tes
to send as many codes to the receiver as I want and am not limited to the=

codes included in the original remote?

With regard to the ITE IT8712F lirc 0.7.1x says that this is supported by=

kernel 2.4 only. Is this the case, or does anyone know of a way of gettin=
g
this working in 2.6.13? Presumably, as an IrDA device this is no use to
me if I want to control the computer with a remote, or is it? It is a bui=
lt
in device on my iDEQ 330p and there seems to be a choice in the BIOS to
enable/disable it by choosing the mode for UART.

Is anyone patient enough to explain these to me?

Thanks
