Thanx for all your work, Maxim. Finally I got the IR control of my Satellite A660-12x to work on Ubuntu 10.10.

Quick instructions for all the affected people:

$ git clone git://gitorious.org/ene-cir/ene-cir.git # download the module sources
$ cd ene-cir
$ make
$ modinfo lirc_dev # check where the current driver is installed (in my case /lib/modules/2.6.35-23-generic/kernel/drivers/media/IR)
$ mv /lib/modules/2.6.35-23-generic/kernel/drivers/media/IR bkpIR # move the whole IR folder out of the modules' path
$ sudo make install
$ reboot

Now you can check if it worked with 'xev', press some buttons and see the event codes it should generate.

The 'ir_lirc_codec: disagrees about version of symbol' errors previously reported were caused by some older drivers in the IR folder still being loaded, so make sure to do that 'mv'.

Cheers,

Daniel
