I can't get the /dev/lirc or /dev/lirc0 to appear with either my Hauppauge remote or my MCE_USB. I'm using the following lirc versions:

dmesg shows:

I did find /etc/sysconfig/lircd which has a LIRCD_OPTIONS= line in it, which was blank in my configuration. I've tried inserting --with-driver=mce_usb and --with-driver=hauppauge with no change in results. I'm not really sure that /etc/sysconfig/lircd is used by lirc on FC4. Anyone have any other ideas on where to debug?
The "LIRCD_OPTS" is normally the character device that you want the daemon to listen to (/dev/lirc/0 or the like), while "LIRC_OPTS" would be "--with-driver=hauppauge" or similar, telling the compiler what options to compile in. "with-driver=hauppauge" tells it to compile the i2c support, without it it will normally compile only the serial support.
I don't know where FC4 stores these options but it looks like you have found the LIRCD spot, but you have put the LIRC option there. Try putting the character device from a "ls -al /dev/lirc*" listing in the LIRCD opts and testing with irw.
Looks like you are very close though. |
