[mythtv-users] LIRC Problem

[Colin Smillie]

I'm having the same problem my FC4 system.  I've tried kernel
2.6.14-1.1656_FC4smp and have now fallend back to 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4.  I
can't get the /dev/lirc or /dev/lirc0 to appear with either my Hauppauge
remote or my MCE_USB.  I'm using the following lirc versions:

lirc-devices-0.7.0-1.rhfc4.at
lirc-lib-0.8.0-54_cvs20060107.rhfc4.at
lirc-kmdl-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4smp-0.8.0-54_cvs20060107.rhfc4.at
lirc-kmdl-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4-0.8.0-52_cvs20051114.rhfc4.at
lirc-0.8.0-54_cvs20060107.rhfc4.at
lirc-lib-devel-0.8.0-54_cvs20060107.rhfc4.at

dmesg shows:

lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61
usbcore: registered new driver lirc_mceusb
/var/tmp/bach-build/BUILD/lirc-0.8.0-CVS/drivers/lirc_mceusb/lirc_mceusb.c:
USB Microsoft IR Transceiver Driver v0.2

and then messages shows:

Jan 16 20:19:05 localhost lircd-0.8.0-CVS[2517]: lircd(userspace) ready
Jan 16 20:19:46 localhost lircd-0.8.0-CVS[2517]: accepted new client on
/dev/lircd
Jan 16 20:19:46 localhost lircd-0.8.0-CVS[2517]: could not get file
information for /dev/lirc0
Jan 16 20:19:46 localhost lircd-0.8.0-CVS[2517]: default_init(): No such
file or directory
Jan 16 20:19:46 localhost lircd-0.8.0-CVS[2517]: caught signal

I did find /etc/sysconfig/lircd which has a LIRCD_OPTIONS= line in it, which
was blank in my configuration.  I've tried inserting --with-driver=mce_usb
and --with-driver=hauppauge with no change in results.  I'm not really sure
that /etc/sysconfig/lircd is used by lirc on FC4.  Anyone have any other
ideas on where to debug?

Thanks,

Colin
