well, and what does dmesg say? Do you have i2c support in the kernel?
What kind of IR receiver are you using? Do you need certain kernel
drivers for the TV card?
Thank you for your reply. Here is the relevant part of dmesg:
lirc_dev: Unknown symbol class_simple_device_add
lirc_dev: Unknown symbol class_simple_destroy
[...]
While just checking google to make sure that I'm not gonna talk
nonsense here, I found a lot of similar trouble descriptions. It seems
that there's some incompatibility between newer kernel versions and
some lirc versions. Are you running lirc w/ ~x86 or just x86? If the
latter is the case (lirc < 0.7.2), I'd recommend
$ ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge lirc
Thank you so much! This seems to have solved the problem. I was
running version 0.7.0-r1. Now I have 0.7.2 installed and modprobed the
lirc_dev module without error. I will verify it's working when I get
home tonight.
Thanks,
Drew
