I had been having similar problems and my remote seems to be working
well now though when I place the receiver at certain spots it stops
working again. A EE friend of mine thinks the problem could be
interference from my computer or other equipment I am using. When
the receiver does not work the wire runs right past the side of my
computer in the section where all the hard drives are. He thinks
that this could be the problem since the wire itself has almost no
shieldingon it.

Hi,
After moving recently, I've just rebuilt my Mythbox using Fedora FC
4. I cannot seem to get LIRC working. I think it's the IR
transceiver itself not the set up; but before I try tracking down a
replacement, I was hoping someone here might be able to sanity
check my setup and debugging thus far..
Downloaded /etc/lircd.conf from Jarod's site for my setup.
/dev looks ok:
# ls -al /dev/li*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Sep 25 18:52 /dev/lirc -> lirc0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 61, 0 Sep 25 18:52 /dev/lirc0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 61, 1 Sep 25 18:52 /dev/lirc1
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Sep 26 01:53 /dev/lircd
Everything seems to connect fine:
# dmesg | grep lirc
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61
lirc_i2c: chip found @ 0x18 (Hauppauge IR)
lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 10
lirc_i2c: chip found @ 0x18 (Hauppauge IR)
lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 10
irw does nothing & irrecord returns with:
irrecord: gap not found, can't continue
irrecord leaves this in the log:
Sep 26 22:30:42 localhost lircd-0.7.2[2704]: accepted new client
on /dev/lircd
Sep 26 22:30:48 localhost lircd-0.7.2[2704]: removed client
...and the kicker:
cat /dev/lirc
shows nothing when I hit a remote button. This leads me to the
conclusion that the IR transceiver has given up the ghost.
Anything I've forgotten or could try? Does Haupppauge sell
replacements?. Any other places I might be able to find a replacement?
Thanks!
