Sorry for the repost, I forgot a subject line the last time....

I'm not sure if this is a problem I'm having with lirc or something
deeper. I bought one or the IR receivers from zapway which is recommend
on the lirc site and I'm having problems getting it to work. I'm running
a debian unstable system which i install the kernel modules source and
compiled it against my current home made kernel. When i go to run mode2
i get no output at all. No error messages or output saying it received a
signal. I have never used my serial ports before so i don't know if they
need to be set up first or not. I ran setserial and it seemed to see
them ok. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

By running dmesg |grep serial I get the this:

 lirc_serial: port 03f8 already in use, proceeding anyway
 lirc_serial: compile the serial port driver as module and
 lirc_serial: make sure this module is loaded first
 lirc_serial: auto-detected active low receiver

Does anyone have any advise on how to fix this.

Thanks Ed
