[mythtv-users] Lirc problems in FC4

[Neil Davidson]

[already posted this to the LIRC mailing list, but got no replies]

I'm having problems getting lirc to run under FC4. I've installed the
modules from atrpms.net using Synaptic/apt and followed the guide on
http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php.

There were no error messages when installing the packages or going through
the guide but there are no devices under /dev/ and when I try to start the
lircd in the services applet I just get "lircd failed. The error was:" and
nothing more.

Kernel is 2.6.12-1.1447 which is the latest with a matching lirc-kmdl

Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm stumped! Which isn't hard this is my
first real play with linux, kind of jumping into the deep end with MythTV I
think, but thanks to FC4 and the 2.6.12 kernels I've finally got my DVB
cards up and running (The Kworld works 'out of the box' and the Twinhan and
Nebula only needed dvb-bt8xx module loaded)

Thanks for any and all help.
