So, I am being advised to stop using the ir_kbd_i2c module and use the older lirc_i2c module instead. (also according to the LIRC website I am suppose to install the lirc_dev module also) Since I am not an expert on managing kernel modules, my research leads me to believe I use the following commands to accomplish this -
rmmod ir_kbd_i2c insmod lirc_i2c insmod lirc_dev
or should I use
modprobe -r ir_kbd_i2c modprobe lirc_i2c modprobe lirc_dev
Not sure what the difference between these commands are exactly... And tinkering with the kernel kinda makes me nervous!
At the very worst the system would crash, and I doubt it. At normal worst, if things go bad you could loose use of the remote, which is no big deal, and perhaps have to reboot to recover to a "known status". Changes are not permanent, just the current runtime. Fear not :-) The first group of commands remove/load kernel modules (from memory) directly, no questions asked. The second group ask a few questions (of the config files) and may load/unload other modules it thinks are needed to complete the request. More in the respective manual pages. About your main question, how to get the remote working, sorry, no idea. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
