OK, I missed that one.

If you check the whole package name it shows that it is a cvs cut.

If you build it yourself, yes. For the packages this pahse has been
done.

There isn't that much there, yet. It is mentioned though in

/usr/share/doc/lirc-0.8.2/NEWS
/usr/share/doc/lirc-0.8.2/doc/html-source/configure.html
/usr/share/doc/lirc-0.8.2/doc/html/configure.html
/usr/share/doc/lirc-0.8.2/doc/html/table.html

You will have to use the --driver=3D parameter to lircd:

# lircd --driver=3D? 2>&1 | grep uirt
        uirt2
        uirt2_raw
        usb_uirt_raw

You would have to pass this option by editing /etc/sysconfig/lircd and
setting

LIRCD_OPTIONS=3D"--driver=3D... --more options_if_neccessary"
--=20
