[mythtv-users] kernel 2.6.39 and lirc 9.0 problems

[Dan Littlejohn]

I am running gentoo and recently upgraded my myth box.  Everything seemed to
go well, but I am having problems getting lirc to work again.  This is a
frontend with a pvr350 that I use for the remote input and an ir blaster to
change channels on my satellite box so I need to get both a hauppauge grey
remote and an ir blaster working at the same time



Before the upgrade, I was running lirc8.7 and kernel 2.6.35, and at boot I
would load lirc_i2c and lirc_serial.  My init.d lircd file looked like this



start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/lirc/lircd1.pid --quiet --exec
/usr/sbin/lircd -- --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc1
--output=/var/run/lirc/lircd1 --pidfile=/var/run/lirc/lircd1.pid
--listen=8765

start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/lirc/lircd.pid --quiet --exec
/usr/sbin/lircd -- --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc0
--output=/var/run/lirc/lircd --pidfile=/var/run/lirc/lircd.pid
--connect=localhost:8765



Now I am using lirc 9.0 and kernel 2.6.39 and understand a lot of stuff has
been moved into the kernel, but I am a bit stumped as to how to get this
working again.  Here is some of the log that shows dmesg and that the keymap
seems to look ok for rc5

Currently, I have LIRC_DEVICES='userspace' (have also tried devinput,
default, serial and combos of those).   I enable all the lirc modules and
the ir staging modules in the kernel.



I have tried devinput (lircd –n –H devinput –d /dev/input5) and ir-kbd-i2c
(modprobe ir-kdb-i2c hauppauge=1 with lircd -n -d /dev/lirc0) and neither
seems to work when using iwr, but I do see dmesg key presses when using
modprobe ir-kbd-i2c debug=1, but not in irw.   I am not sure which approach
I should be focusing on to get both the pvr350 remote and the ir blaster to
both work.  I have read everything I can in the list and what I can find,
but it is a bit confusing.  Right now, neither work.  Would appreciate any
advice to get this working.
