I've been following the how-to here:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/LIRC_on_Debian_Etch
and I'm not having much success. My machine is a 800mhz G4 eMac, and I'm
trying to make a Windows MCE remote work. I've tested the hardware on a
mythbuntu machine, where I was able to setup the remote using Mythbuntu
Control Center, and the remote and receiver seem to work fine. I've
followed the how-to several times, and I've yet to receive an error message
until I get to the point of testing everything my running "mode2" to see if
I get output from the remote. This fails with the following:
BedroomFE:/usr/src# mode2
mode2: error opening /dev/lirc
mode2: No such file or directory
BedroomFE:/usr/src#
which indicates to me that /dev/lirc0 does not exist, and I'm not sure why,
or how to figure out why. Has anyone had success working with this how-to?
Any troubleshooting advice would also be welcome. FWIW, I'm running .21
from the Debian multimedia repositories, but I haven't gotten as far as
trying it in Myth.
Thanks for any help offered,
Josh
