[mythtv-users] Lirc Problems - could not open /dev/lirc

[Brian Donaldson]

I'm running Fedora Core 1 installed with ATrpms from Jarod's
instructions (which are excellent by the way).  Kernel version is
2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_52.rhfc1.at.  I have one PVR-250 installed with the
grey remote.  I think the version of lirc that I have installed is
0.7.0pre7.

When I run "/sbin/service lircd start" it seems to start ok, but when
I run irw it first just brings me back to the prompt.  Then if I run
irw again it says "connect: Connection refused".  Here's the output of
/var/log/messages:

If there's any other useful information that I can post please let me
know.  Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Thank you,
