no that doesnt help. i am not aiming for the internal infrared device. i have an external usb X10 remote, and i need the atiusb module. all guides on the net use >install lirc-modules-source< which automatically trys to compile the dkms modules. however, it seems to be a bug in the modul itself ...

using mint 9 in a virtual machine without the repos from fitpc, i can compile the modules. so it seems to be connected with your patches to the kernel ...
