So far I haven't found anything. 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 Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net |
