I think I'm attempting the imposible, but I simply can not get LIRC to work on my 8.10 PPC install.
I think my problem lies with the DKMS stuff. When I try dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source, I get the following error:
Error! Build of lirc_atiusb.ko faild for: 2.6.25-2-powerpc (ppc)
Consult the make.log in the build directory /var/lib/dkms/lirc/0.8.3/build for more information.
Installing inital module
Error! Could not locate lirc_atiusb.ko for module lirc in the DKMS tree. You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.25-2-powerpc (ppc) first.
Done.When I try aptitude reinstall lirc, I get these errors:

Thanks.
