Hello,
I'm building a MythTV box and I'm having trouble getting my CIMR100 to work.
I've installed all the Mandrake 9.1 packages for LIRC and I have the lirc*
modules compiled for my kernel (using the mdk sources). In
/etc/sysconfig/lircd I have uncommented the lines for COM1 (since that's
where the receiver is attached) and the line DEVICE=/dev/lirc/serial (since
that's where devfs seems to place it). I've set HWMOD=lirc_serial and
DRIVER=creative. I've copied the creative/CD driver to /etc/lircd.conf.
[root at helium root]# ls -la /dev/lirc/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Dec 31 1969 ./
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Dec 31 1969 ../
crw------- 1 root root 61, 0 Dec 31 1969 serial
[root at helium root]# mode2
This program is only intended for receivers supporting the pulse/space
layer.
Note that this is no error, but this program simply makes no sense for your
receiver.
[root at helium root]# mode2 -d /dev/lirc/serial
# press buttons, no output, ^C
[root at helium root]# irw /dev/lirc/serial
connect: Connection refused
[root at helium root]# irw
# returns immediately
[root at helium root]# tail /var/log/messages|grep lirc
Jun 28 05:21:43 helium lircd 0.6.6[7469]: lircd(any) ready
Jun 28 05:21:43 helium lircd: lircd startup succeeded
Jun 28 05:21:50 helium lircd 0.6.6[7469]: accepted new client on /tmp/.lircd
Jun 28 05:21:50 helium lircd 0.6.6[7469]: could not reset tty
Jun 28 05:21:50 helium lircd 0.6.6[7469]: caught signal
Now I try DRIVER=default. The terminal log is exactly the same up until:
[root at helium root]# tail /var/log/messages|grep lirc
Jun 28 05:27:05 helium lircd 0.6.6[8175]: lircd(any) ready
Jun 28 05:27:05 helium lircd: lircd startup succeeded
Jun 28 05:27:07 helium lircd 0.6.6[8175]: accepted new client on /tmp/.lircd
Jun 28 05:27:07 helium lircd 0.6.6[8175]: could not open /dev/lirc/serial
Jun 28 05:27:07 helium lircd 0.6.6[8175]: default_init(): Device or resource
busy
Jun 28 05:27:07 helium lircd 0.6.6[8175]: caught signal
Just for kicks I did a modprobe on all the lirc_* modules:
[root at helium root]# lsmod|grep lirc
lirc_dev 9016 0
lirc_serial 9184 1
I'm at a loss here. I'm pretty sure I should use the creative driver and the
lirc_serial module, but it doesn't seem to work. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
