[mythtv-users] Lirc Problem

[Andrew Leech]

Hi Joe,
It's been years since I've used serial with lirc because it always gave 
me headaches... I think you'll be better off with the ftdi one when it 
comes, I've just started using a ftdi receiver (homemade) and found it 
surprisingly easy to set up.
Compiling from source as you've done should certainly fix most of the 
serial driver issues however, that's what I always had to do.

What version of lirc were you using on the old box, if it was older it 
may have had some slight config difference (shooting in the dark here 
though).

Are you certain you're on /dev/ttyS0?

I see the scripts are supposed to be doing the setserial stuff, have you 
verified that it's working correctly?
I'd also check if irq=4 is still correct on your new hardware.
|# setserial -g /dev/ttyS0|
will tell you if the irq is correct and should say if the uart none line 
in the scripts worked.

Might be worth checking any com port settings in bios too to ensure 
there's nothing set awry.

Good Luck,
Andrew
