[mythtv-users] Myth .16 running great on FC2... one more problem...LIRC

[Jon Kunze]

Ok, I changed my  modprobe.conf to read like this:

alias char-major-61 lirc_serial
options lirc_serial irq=4 io=0x3f8
install lirc_serial /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none; /sbin/modprobe --ignor$
alias eth0 forcedeth
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/$
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/m$
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd
# nvidia kernel module
alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-6111
#ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe msp3400 saa7115 tuner v4l1-compat; /sbin/modprobe -$
install lirc_serial /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe -ignore-install lirc_se$
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 tuner=2,2
options msp3400 once=0 simpler=1 simple=0

As you can see I added the line you told me to near the top of the
file. There is another line near the bottom referring to lirc_serial
as well. Should I remove that line?

After rebooting I started lircd again and then tried irw with the same
results as before.
