Installation

[edit]

Gentoo

If you are running Gentoo then be thankful the patch for the Xbox DVD dongle is in the portage. Add this line to /etc/make.conf 

LIRC_DEVICES="xboxusb"


Note: atiusb and xboxusb conflict with each other and only one will work at the same time.


Now just run 

# emerge lircd

Now use the config from the bottom of the page. The next thing you need to do is test to see if it works. Because it is using a new driver if you have it plugged in then you need to unplug it and plug it back in. Now start lircd 

# /etc/init.d/lircd start

then run 

# irw

and watch to see if your button presses are showing up!
