I didn't make that change on mine, although I have seen where others needed it.Hey Jeff, I have a similar problem to the one discussed below sometime back, hoping you can help:
I have an "old" IRman plugged into com1 on my system, but can't get it to take input at all.
I did the changes you suggested below, changed the symlink for /dev/lirc to point to /dev/ttyS0
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ps -ef | grep lircd, lircd starts ok, but irrecord doesn't work and irw just exits to prompt immediately. Am I missing something? Below is some of my settings, my box is sucessfully connected via firewire, just using the remote to control myth.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] dev]# /sbin/service lircd start Starting infrared remote control daemon: [ OK ] [EMAIL PROTECTED] dev]# ps -ef | grep lircd root 5164 1 0 14:58 ? 00:00:00 lircd --driver=irman --device=/dev/ttyS0
root 4441 1 0 May08 ? 00:00:00 lircd --driver=irman --device=/dev/ttyS14
root 5168 4799 0 14:59 pts/2 00:00:00 grep lircd
root 27076 27033 0 21:26 pts/5 00:00:00 grep lircd
[EMAIL PROTECTED] dev]# irw
[EMAIL PROTECTED] dev]# cd /dev/lir*
-bash: cd: /dev/lirc: Not a directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED] dev]# ls -l /dev/lir*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 May 15 14:52 /dev/lirc -> ttyS0
crw------- 1 root root 61, 0 May 15 14:19 /dev/lirc0
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 May 15 14:58 /dev/lircd
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ll /dev/lir* srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 May 8 21:15 /dev/lircd
I think the symlink you may need is from /dev/lirc0 to /dev/lirc, not ttyS0. The command line parameter should take care of pointing to ttyS0.
If I switch the lirc link to point to lirc0 I get a connection refused
when running irw.
I hope this helps. I'm not much of a guru. I just got mine to work and hoped what I did would work for others, since I didn't see any single source for the info.
Jeff.
