Enabling LIRC_STAGING is not enough, flag IR_MCEUSB is also missing. With these 2 kernel flags enabled, the lirc package install succeeds.
However, there is still an outstanding issue reported on pandaboard list when testing: <<< Start of quote --- But, I am unable to record remote key strokes using "irw" (which is in- built command of LIRC). And also, "/dev/lirc0" is not there which is require for "/etc/lirc/ hardware.conf". On my Desktop (X86), I am able to record remote key strokes in Ubuntu-11.10 with LIRC. There I am able to see "/dev/lirc0" too. --- end of quote >>> -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927526 Title: missing support for some LIRC devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ti-omap4/+bug/927526/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
