Does anyone on either of this list know how to properly configure LIRC esp on a laptop?
I have a D600, and I've verified that the IRDA works under linux. (using the SIR protocol)
I've tried to make lirc work but am unsure why there's no response.
Just to be sure, IRDA is _not_ started when I start LIRCd.
ls -l /dev/lirc* gets me srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Jan 26 2005 /dev/lircd prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 26 2005 /dev/lircm
and also /dev/lirc/0
if I start lircd via
sudo lircd -n -d /dev/lirc/0 on a console and then I start "irw" on another, pressing _any_ buttons on the remote (any remote) doesn't give me any output.
Addition to that, using irrecord also does not work.
Does anyone has any experience in this?? All the stuffs I've seen on the internet involves a home-brewed IR receiver.
If I can't get this to work, Mythtv will be of not much use :-(
Did I mention that I looked and followed the tute found on Fedoranews.org? The thing is, I don't have a ATI USB remote nor any other fancy remote. I'm trying it on one(few) of those TV remotes lying around the house

Yeah, tricky thanks to the limited lirc documentation.
and also /dev/lirc/0

You have insmod'ed lirc_sir, have you? Poorly documented, but you'll need the module to have ir-support. It has to be configured properly and -- and that was the tricky part -- the UART has to be prepared. For my laptop this means the following in /etc/modprobe.conf:
# Lirc remote control alias char-major-61 lirc_sir options lirc_sir irq=3 io=0x2f8 install lirc_sir { /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_sir
I guess you know what that means... If no,. ask me.

Yeah, same here, but with freevo instead.
The wiki of freevo gives some more hints about LIRC.

I've finally gotten it working. I'm not sure if it's because I compiled SMSC_?? into the kernel and not as a module or otherwise.
but it works now
