I've compiled LIRC on my 6000, but I did not specify a driver to use (which make it kind of useless) for a couple of reasons.
1. I don't have the kernel source installed.
2. I don't know which driver to use.
If anyone can provide me with these two pieces of information I'll re-compile and make it available. I could find out my self, but I've already got a couple of things going that use up my spare time.
