Comment 4 for bug 153184

Hi

I have just done a fresh installation of Mythbuntu 8.04.

According to the changelog of lirc 0.8.3~pre1-0ubuntu7 a patch for the pad on iMON remotes should be included since 0ubuntu4, for some reason it seems this patch doesn't work. My pad on the remote is not giving any output when using irw (or MythTV for that matter), all other keys work as expected.

From the changelog:
lirc (0.8.3~pre1-0ubuntu4) hardy; urgency=low

  * Add 25_upstream_2_6_24 to fix lirc_dev,lirc_serial,lirc_sir
    on 2.6.24.
  * Add 26_transmitter_lircd.conf for pre-shipped cable/satellite
    receiver lircd.conf's as well as a transmitter.hwdb
  * Add 27_multiple_include for allowing lircd.conf's via
    an 'include' directive.
  * Update 16_lirc-gpio, 22_hauppauge_novat_500, 24_freecom_dvbt
    for upstream driver name change from dev/input to devinput.
  * Drop 17_devinput since it is no longer necessary due to
    upstream driver name change.
  * Update 12_lirc_pvr150 for 2.6.24.
  * Update 20_lirc_serial_igor for 2.6.24.
  * Update 13-warning-cleanup for more cleanup on sir
  * Update 03_extra_files, 04_manpages, 12_pvr150_transmit_support,
    13-warning-cleanup, 16_lirc-gpio, 20_serial-igor, 21_atiusb,
    22_hauppauge_novat_500, 23_pad2keys, 24_freecom_dvbt

Is there something I need to do for this patch to work?

Can I patch lirc myself?
From the release notes:
DKMS support. If you have modules that get upgraded after 8.04 comes out, you can patch them via lirc-modules-source manually, or grab a lirc-modules-source from a future Ubuntu/Mythbuntu testing release and simply install it without any manual patching necessary.

How would I go about installing a patch using DKMS and lirc-modules-source?
