lirc_imon upgrade?
Liquorix has been shipping for some time with lirc_imon v0.7. This driver however is under active development and had already reached v1.15 last time I checked.
I've built the module myself from the lirc CVS repo, but I can't get it to work with Liquorix. It seems the problem lies with lirc_dev, which should be upgraded as well: however, that module is nowhere to be found and when I try to insmod mine, I get an error about it being already loaded. Is it possible to have lirc_imon updated to the current version, or alternatively can you help me find a way to upgrade the module without having to recompile the whole kernel? Back to top |

The next version of my kernel should the new lirc code, thanks for noticing.

Thanks to you for the swell work.
I had written a reply some time ago but it seems my browser ate it. Nevermind, I'm back with some real world feedback. The new version, after some adjustments to my configuration, seems to be working. It does default to mouse mode rather than keyboard as the old driver did, which is weird for an HTPC remote. Any chance this can be fixed? Back to top |

That would need to be fixed upstream, sorry :\

Sorry to bump an old thread. I'm in the process of upgrading from 2.6.33-4.dmz.3 to the current 2.6.34-0.dmz.10. It appears the imon driver is no longer bundled with the kernel. Is this intended?

Ah, sorry.
With 2.6.34, I'm no longer using Zen Sources as a base due to the developer's lack of interest. Plus, without cheater-conrad active, the quality of all the updates have been abysmal at best. Since I'm starting from vanilla 2.6.34 sources, I have to choose which patches are included and which patches are not. This is one of the git branches I missed when looking for all the essential patches to my kernel, thanks for bringing this up. The next kernel I upload should have the LIRC modules. Back to top |

I've had some problems with lirc_imon in 2.6.35-7.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64.
One problem was that the kernel oopsed with this logged to kern.log: :: Code ::

The suspend halted at "Suspending console(s) (use no_console_suspend to debug)". Tried blacklisting lirc_imon in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf but ended up having to rename the kernel module in /lib/modules/2.6.35-7.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64/kernel/drivers/input/lirc/. That "solved" both oopses and suspend to RAM. Not sure why the blacklisting didn't work, this way I have to rename the kernel module every time the kernel is updated. With Debian standard kernels blacklisting works, I've used it to disable nouveau and lirc_imon for years. UPDATE: Blacklisting doesn't work, but adding this to /etc/modprobe.d/00local.conf does: :: Code ::
