[mythtv-users] Help Needed - lircd crashes with mceusb

[Mitko Haralanov]

	Hi, tonight I attempted to upgrade my mythtv box to the latest nvidia
drivers. That meant that I had to upgrade to kernel-2.4.22-1.2197. That
went all fine, however, ever since I can't get lircd to work.

Every time I try to access /dev/lirc, I get:

Jul  7 21:20:09 mythtv lircd 0.7.0pre4[2061]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
Jul  7 21:20:09 mythtv lircd 0.7.0pre4[2061]: could not open /dev/lirc
Jul  7 21:20:09 mythtv lircd 0.7.0pre4[2061]: default_init(): No such device 
Jul  7 21:20:09 mythtv lircd 0.7.0pre4[2061]: caught signal

I found one thread that suggests that I should be using lirc-0.70pre4.
However, you can see from the message above that that is what I am
using.

I have tried playing with my modules.conf. Originally (when it worked
with the old kernel), it was as follows:

alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
...
add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c

That did not work with the new kernel/driver. I also tried:

alias char-major-61 lirc_mceusb
...
add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_mceusb

and that did not work either. When the lirc_mceusb module loads, I get
the following:

Jul  7 21:13:44 mythtv lircd 0.7.0pre4[2061]: lircd(any) ready
Jul  7 21:13:44 mythtv lircd: lircd startup succeeded
Jul  7 21:15:20 mythtv kernel: usb.c: deregistering driver ir_transceiver
Jul  7 21:15:51 mythtv kernel: usb.c: registered new driver ir_transceiver
Jul  7 21:15:51 mythtv kernel: lirc_mceusb.c: USB Microsoft IR Transceiver Driver v0.2

I have run out of idea!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanx
