I changed commented out the DEVICE=/dev/lirc line in /etc/sysconfig/lircd and
uncommented the DEVICE=/dev/lirc/0. I then restarted lircd with the following
results:
Stopping Linux Infrared Remote Control mouse daemon: [ OK ]

As previously, the fix is to change the device used in /etc/sysconfig/lircd to
the non-devfs device.

With the latest cooker update from 6th of March, lircd does not create /dev/lirc/0. I
am taking
a stab in the dark and assuming that because I run a system with devfs that the module
is not
creating the devfs entry.
Changing /etc/sysconfig/lircd from:
(this results in lircmd and crew not being able to communicate with the kernel space
portion of
this and hence all the problems that arrise from that)
# The device node that communicates with the IR device.
# with devfs enabled
DEVICE=/dev/lirc/0
# without devfs
#DEVICE=/dev/lirc
To:
# The device node that communicates with the IR device.
# with devfs enabled
#DEVICE=/dev/lirc/0
# without devfs
DEVICE=/dev/lirc
Fixes the problem and all other remaining mdk packages work as expected (tested with
irw
and xawtv). I've banged my head about this one for a month or so now since getting my
new
PV951 tuner card and just decided to have another dig at it. Hopefully this will get
fixed for the
final release.
