Just an update. I changed my serial from 3F8/IRQ4 to 2F8/IRQ3 since we
couldn't even talk to our Cisco modem. But on 2F8/IRQ3 we can, so I
tried the Irman again and this is the messages I get back from lircd
when running `lircd -n -d /dev/ttyS1`
could not open config file '/etc/lircd.conf'
No such file or directory
lircd(any) ready
Now I run irw and get the following from lircd:
accepted new client on /dev/lircd
could not get hardware features
this device driver does not support the new LIRC interface
major number of /dev/ttyS1 is 4
LIRC major number is 61
check if /dev/ttyS1 is a LIRC device
caught signal
Terminated
If I try and specify a driver with --driver=irman I get:
accepted new client on /dev/lircd
could not open /dev/ttyS1
irman_init(): Input/output error
caught signal
Terminated
I am running them both as root. I've tested the port by talking to a
Cisco modem and I've tested the device on my Windows machine, so I don't
think I either are bad. Any thoughts?
