this patch adds support for the PCF8574 chip which is in the Asus-TV box and Personal Cinema without this patch Personal Cinema will not work correctly Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
added to lirc-0.6.6-r2.ebuild
the above patch adds to more driver definations "tvbox" (Asus) and "breakoutbox" (Creative) I tried to build for both drivers individually with LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=tvbox" emerge lirc and then LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=breakout" emerge lirc both failed to build giving the following error... checking for which drivers can be installed on this system... checking for caraca_init in -lcaraca_client... no checking for ir_strerror in -lirman... no checking for ir_strerror in -lirman_sw... no configure: error: *** it is not possible to install the specified driver on this system make: *** [config.status] Error 1 !!! ERROR: app-misc/lirc-0.6.6-r2 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 84, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) For a control test I entered LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=animax" emerge lirc and it passed the above error point. checking for which drivers can be installed on this system... checking for caraca_init in -lcaraca_client... no checking for ir_strerror in -lirman... no checking for ir_strerror in -lirman_sw... no configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: creating drivers/Makefile Then I tried a build with just emerge lirc and it installed correctly /etc/lircd.conf contains the correct remote (Creative Breakoutbox) when I started lircd I was given this warning, which is confusing lircd 0.6.6: WARNING: garbage after 'name' token in line 10 ignored at one point I was able to get motv to register the number keys so at some level it is working
