After a long time digging through the lirc-list I finally found that there is a livedrive_midi driver available with lirc 0.7.0, the version currently available in portage. However, the only documentation I found on setting up the driver was in the comments of the ebuild file and livedrive_midi was not listed. It would have saved me several days debugging and searching to have had it listed in the ebuild. I dont know all the standards in place for ebuilds but I think it would probably been easier for it to have outputed by the ebuild. That's my 2cents. Hopes this helps. Note: this may need to be posted else where but I can confirm that the driver does work on my system. If you need any more information about my system's setup feel free to contact me.
