I really got it work...
For the installation:
1. terminate the opie (You can do that by going to the shutdown)
2. install the ipkg thr command line ( I use putty thr SSH)
ipkg install -d root /mnt/cf/irk* <- your package
3. ln -s  /etc/IRK.conf  $HOME/Settings/IRK.conf
4. reboot your Zi.
5. Finish

Hmmm. . . this is not working for me.  I uninstalled and purged all of the old installation, and it went as follows:

1) Terminated Opie
2) ipkg remove irk
3) deleted /etc/IRK.conf, /root/Settings/IRK.conf, /opt/QtPalmtop.compat/bin/libirk.so.1.0.0, and /opt/QtPalmtop/plugins/inputmethods/libirk* (its now as if I never installed it)
4) ipkg install irk (went fine)
5) ln -s /etc/IRK.conf /root/Settings/IRK.conf (also fine)
6) reboot

At this point, IRK/Targus shows up as its supposed to, but won't accept any input.  Does lircd need to be running?  Also, I recall that irk needs to use oz-compat?

Thanks for you help. . .

Yes, I did turn it to "on."  Can you confirm that you did NOT use the oz-compat libs?  installation of irk depends on oz-compat, I find it strange that it would work without using them.  In any case, I started from a fresh flashing of OZ, but still no luck.

Yeap I didn't use compact library.
Are you sure you downloaded the 3.5.1 feed's IRK one...
I am just a noob anyway...:/
(Zaurus is my first and only linux machine I ever have...probably in the future.)

Hmmm. . . that's very odd that mine doesn't work.  Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait and hope that when IRK 2.0 comes out that someone will compile it specifically for OZ.  I'm glad it works for you, anyway.  Thanks again. . .

Does anyone have irk version that supports PalmOne IR keyboard?
When i used sharp rom, this bakkeo's package worked perfectly: http://www.geocities.jp/bakkeo2004/irk-zau....1f_arm.ipk.bin. Now i am using OpenZaurus (3.5.3) but i cannot use the bakkeo package anymore. I installed the irk package from OZ feed (latest) but it has support for Targus and PocketTop only. I tried to copy the IRK.conf from bakkeo package, it shows PalmOne keyboard on the keyboard list but i cannot type anything. I don't know why.
Can anyone here enlighten me? I do not want to flash back to Sharp Rom because of this keyboard
Thank you very much!

those IRK variants suxx...

someone took upstream version, removed something and added something instead, then someone_else did the same with other keyboard..

so we have:
IRK upstream
IRK umbaumba
IRK bumcyk
IRK tymtyrymtym
IRK acobytymrazem

etc... each one incompatible with other, each one cannot be installed with other version but noone fixed segfault when there is not $HOME/Settings/IRK.conf

screw you irk modders

and small info for users - look at kbdd and add your wireless keyboard into it - so it will work in ANY enviroment (not only under OPIE).

And one more thing - that variant of IRK is probably easy to build using OE but don't ask me to do it.
