I'm afraid I've got nothing here. I know 64-bit Fedora definitely works just fine w/the latest lirc, as that's pretty much all I run. Can't think of a reason why lirc 0.8.4a would work but later versions wouldn't, that's particularly odd. Not sure who's responsible for lirc over in Ubuntu land these days, but they're probably the ones you'll have to talk to if you want to get this sorted out. :\ -- Jarod Wilson ja...@wi... |
