Yes! After much stuffing around i have an IR sync happening with my
Dell Inspiron 8000, kernel 2.4.17 and my Palm Vx.
First step is to have a look at http://www.linux-laptop.net/ for some
notes by someone with the same laptop as you.
You should also have a read of the IR-HOWTO for some background
information. I have found it to be a little out of date but a good
starting point.
I have only really got it working with the 2.4 kernels as I wanted that
series for better USB support.
You need to enable IrDA support in the kernel (built-in or modules) and
have modules/support built-in for ircomm and irtty.
You also need to install the irda utilities (you need irattach to
connect your IR serial port).
It is worthwhile looking at the linux-irda list's archives (Google will
find it) for other's more specific IR experiences .
Good luck.
