first off, do you have the special IR reciever/transmitter that is for your motherboard? if not then you are chasing the wrong answer/question.
I found it much easier to simply build the simplest lirc reciever and use a standard serial port... anyways, lirc comes with example config files and other full docs. look in your sourcecode download for lirc. and if you didn't download lirc's sourcecode... get that first. More tools and examples come with it. finally, when you get it working... DO NOT use any of their pre-configured remote files.. they do not work or can cause you tons of headaches. -----Original Message----- From: Trevor Phillips [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 1:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] Lirc - finding support On Tuesday 09 September 2003 12:59, Roh . wrote: > do u want to use the irda port on ur m/b for lirc or irda?

I sent all the BIOS options this board has (see below). There's no reference to SIR/FIR that I can see, unless they're labelled differently. Any ideas what I should set it to? So, technically, all I should have to do is ise the lirc_serial module? Any idea how to figure out the IRQ/IO settings? Would it replace one of the existing 2 COM ports, or be the 3rd, or something different? Maybe I should try Googling the BIOS options I do have to see if another site has more info on what they mean... > >I have a motherboard with a VIA P4M266 chipset (SFF eCube Chyang Fun case) > >- > >how the frell do I find out what driver I need to get Lirc working? > >Everywhere just lists the IR functionality as "1xIR Port, IrDA 1.0/FIR > >supported". > > > >The only mention of IrDA in the BIOS is the following settings: > > UART Mode Select: Normal, IrDA, or ASKIR > > RxD, TxD Active: Hi;Lo, Lo;Hi, Lo;Lo, or Hi;Hi > > IR Transmission Delay: Enabled, or Disabled > > UR2 Duplex Mode: Half, or Full > > Use IR Pins: IR-Rx2Tx2, or RxD2TxD2 > > > >Am I being overly optimistic about Lirc support for this board?
