LIRC driver has moved in the kernel. Now you have to select: CONFIG_LIRC=m CONFIG_IR_LIRC_CODEC=m CONFIG_IR_SERIAL=m Then load modules: serial_ir and ir_lirc_codec Note that you have to install at least kernel 4.12.6 otherwise the remote will not work due to a bug. If you have less then 4.12.6 you can apply this trivial fix: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/?h=v4.12.11&id=16823f169452ddc8a5e0c583329d288fc66c6067 Regards, Robert -- Róbert Čerňanský E-mail: [email protected] Jabber: [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot
