I had lircd working just fine under fedora 5 using a PVR-150 card and
remote. Not sure what happened but the remote quit working. After
restarting the lircd I tried irw to see if it was receiving. I just
dropped me to a command prompt. checking the /var/log/messages file I
find this:

In my /dev I have a device called lircd not lirc. I tried creating a
symlink from lirc to lircd. This allowed irw to run with out crashing
lircd but it still didn't echo any codes received from the remote. I
re-installed ivtv and lirc through yum, same results. Then tried
updating the kernel, ivtv and lirc kernel modules, same results. Any
idea what happened and how to fix? Using a digital camera I can see
the remote transmitting but I have no idea how to test the IR receiver.
My modprobe.conf :
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias scsi_hostadapter sata_nv
alias eth0 forcedeth
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-intel8x0 index=0
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ;
}; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install
lirc_i2c
Thanks.
Dean.
