I just bought one of those packard bell remote cheap off ebay. I'm having a
problem getting it to work. Here is the output if i run irw:

root at mythtvbox2:~# lircd --nodaemon
lircd 0.7.2: lircd(serial) ready
lircd 0.7.2: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
lircd 0.7.2: could not get hardware features
lircd 0.7.2: this device driver does not support the new LIRC interface
lircd 0.7.2: major number of /dev/lirc is 4
lircd 0.7.2: LIRC major number is 61
lircd 0.7.2: check if /dev/lirc is a LIRC device
lircd 0.7.2: caught signal
Terminated

(I have also install lirc with the packard bell option so the second line
has that instead of (serial) but both do the same thing)
I do have ln /dev/ttyS0 /dev/lirc
I also have linked S1 to lirc0 and ran lircd with the device option to
lirc0. Can anyone help?
