Do you have an IR receiver connected to LIRC, or just
an IR transmitter?

It's a IBM Thinkpad T60. I'm at setuping right now. Seems
to be a bit tricky (need to compile several kernel modules).

I think it's not only a receiver... i'll test it in the evening.

| If you have an IR receiver, you can use LIRC to learn
the signals from your PDA to diagnose what is wrong with
them.

The original learned signal you posted in this thread
was learned by your PDA, correct?

thats correct, the only working hex code was learned by total remote
with my PDA.


If your LIRC IR transmitter doesn't work at first, you
have a way to learn the signals it transmits and decode
them with IrTool and see what might be wrong. That isn't
as informative as the reverse (learning the PDA's signals
with LIRC) but anything that gives you details is better
then the pass/fail testing with the actual device.

All my IR receive and transmit hardware is on Windows
and Dos computers and none of it is compatible with winLIRC.
I recently installed Debian Linux on one computer, but
I haven't had time to set up hardware to try LIRC.

winLIRC supports only serial IR transmitter as far as i know. I don't know how
the built in IR transmitter in the thinkpad t60 behaves, i'll give it a try and report :)
