I am a Linux noob and have tried to follow a couple of threads I seen posted on various forums. I think I have done more harm than good so I apt-get removed /purge LIRC and then re-installed via Synpatic.

I have had a quick google and found the cmds below , it this what you mean about building out of tree drivers, if so are the commands below correct. > git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git v4l-dvb > cd v4l-dvb > git remote add linuxtv git://linuxtv.org/media_tree.git > git remote update > git checkout -b media-master remotes/linuxtv/staging/for_v2.6.40 Not exactly.

You want to build those same bits, but against your running kernel. http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers (the "Basic" Approach should do) -- Jarod Wilson ja...@wi... |
