Hello, I am building a HTPC using a Silverstone LC16M case which comes with an iMon IR/VFD device. I have installed Windows on the machine to confirm the hardware is working and am now working to replace that with MythTV.
I have been reading a number of HOWTOs with regards setting up lirc with the iMon VFD device, but I am having no luck. In short, I have the following kernel installed: [EMAIL PROTECTED] module]# uname -a Linux htpc 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.centos.plus #1 SMP Fri Dec 7 07:04:56 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux And the following rpms: [EMAIL PROTECTED] module]# rpm -qa | grep lirc lirc-kmdl-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.centos.plus-0.8.2-68.el5 lirc-lib-0.8.2-68.el5 lirc-devices-0.8-4.el5 lirc-0.8.2-68.el5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] module]# rpm -qa | grep video4 video4linux-kmdl-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.centos.plus-20071226-84.el5 video4linux-ivtv-kmdl-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.centos.plus-20071226-84.el5 With /dev/lircd.conf starting with (I haven't included the whole thing unless someone needs to see it): # # this config file was automatically generated # using lirc-0.7.1pre2(imon) on Tue Mar 1 23:15:44 2005 # # contributed by Venky Raju # # brand: iMON-New # model no. of remote control: iMON-PAD # devices being controlled by this remote: # ... So, if I run the following I would expect things to start working: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# ls -l /dev/lirc* ls: /dev/lirc*: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# modprobe lirc_dev [EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# modprobe lirc_imon [EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# ls -l /dev/lirc* ls: /dev/lirc*: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# service lircd start Starting infrared remote control daemon: [ OK ] [EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# ls -l /dev/lircd* srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Jan 24 16:48 /dev/lircd [EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# ps auxww | grep lircd root 24520 0.0 0.0 3028 540 ? Ss 16:48 0:00 lircd root 24526 0.0 0.0 3896 648 pts/1 R+ 16:48 0:00 grep lircd However, what I actually see is that lircd will start and as soon as I run irw to test the remote, irw returns immediately & the lircd daemon stops. [EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# irw [EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# !ps ps auxww | grep lircd root 24570 0.0 0.0 3896 668 pts/1 S+ 16:48 0:00 grep lircd On a related note, it also appears not to create the /dev/lcd0 device required for lcdproc to make use of the VFD. Anyone any ideas? Cheers, David _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
