Other Help Topics :: LIRC and kernelsources



I'm afraid I'm no longer in posession of my 70CT :( , my sister needed a laptop and I came across a nice IBM TP240 :)  Although it will be nice WHEN I get it back :D

When I tried installing knoppix it was on my main box.

If you could email me the files that would be most welcome (of course with some half-noob type installation instructions :;): )  you can get my email address from my forum details.

Just for reference I'm hoping to get this MDTOCEditor to work. :cool:
I recently purchased 2 IBM 240's myself..
They seem to run DSL in toram from frugal nicely.
Both have 192MB ram...

Light and fast..  perfect for my needs..
I use an orinoco gold card, or an MA111 , for access.
SO far, I'm pleased with it's size-vs-performance..

Libretto,
I will sent you the LIRC modules shortly.
Check your BIOS that your IrDA mode is set for standard (SIR) because apparently LIRC won't work in FIR mode.

After installing the lirc-modules deb, I believe you can load LIRC like this -
modprobe lirc_sir irq=10 io=0x3e8

You may also need to install setserial, to check that your system sees the IR port (in my case /dev/ttyS2) at the correct IRQ.  If it's wrong, you can force it there as such -
setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 10
Some documentation also suggests that you should force the IR port to an undefined uart, as such -
setserial /dev/ttyS2 uart none

At this point you will want to run some diagnostics from an xterm to see if things are working.  I was experimenting with various IR communication tasks, but not remote control, so I can't help you here.
You may need to install irda-utils?  I'm not sure.

Regarding Minidisc TOC Editor, this is qt based, so you will need to install libqt3.
Good luck.
Thanks for the files, althoguh according to one site te ibm 240x (model up from mine) uses the NSC PC87588 chip which is probably FIR :( will check.

However tried you .deb and am getting 'unresovled symbols' errors. Any thougts?

ke4nt, have you tried running wine on the 240? Also have you used the internal modem? Wouldn't mind an X21, its got built in LAN :;):
Yes,
Wine works fine for me on the 240..
Somewhat slow on the celeron 300,
but things like solitare work just fine.

Haven't tried the internal modem yet..
