>> /dev/lirc does not exist, however, /dev/lircd does when I run lircd –n.
I recently had same problem on FC3 (same output in messages). I had to create the /dev/lirc devicenode before it would work.
I created it as described on http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-8.html:
My steps for making the remote work something like the following:
I created it as described on http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-8.html:
# mknod /dev/lirc c 61 0
My steps for making the remote work something like the following:
1. # apt-get install lirc-kmdl-$KVER
2. # apt-get install lirc
2. # apt-get install lirc
3. rename /lib/modules/$KVER/kernel/drivers/usb/input/ati_remote.ko to something else (e.g ati_remote.ko.orig)4. Add "alias char-major-61 lirc_atiusb" and "alias lirc_dev lirc_atiusb" to modprobe.conf5. # /sbin/chkconfig lircd on6. Reboot to stop ati_remote.ko and start lircd
7. # mknod /dev/lirc c 61 08. # chmod 666 /dev/lirc*8. I created my own lirc.conf with irrecord, because Litwillers lirc.conf did not work. I did not check www.lirc.org whether there were one that worked.9. Test it with irw. Remember to kill mythfrontend so that mythfrontend does not lock the device.10. Download Litwillers http://www.litwiller.net/mythtv/lircrc.txt to /home/~mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc
So I have both a /dev/lirc and a /dev/lircd. It did not work without the /dev/lirc:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ll /dev/li*
crw------- 1 root root 61, 0 8 sep 20:01 /dev/lirc
crw------- 1 root root 61, 0 8 sep 20:01 /dev/lirc0
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 11 sep 10:11 /dev/lircd
Best regards
