<div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div><p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">>> /dev/lirc does not exist, however, /dev/lircd does when I

I created it as described on <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-8.html">http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-8.html</a>:<br>
<br>
<pre># mknod /dev/lirc c 61 0</pre>
<br>
My steps for making the remote work something like the following:<br>
<br>
<div>1. # apt-get install lirc-kmdl-$KVER<br>2. # apt-get install lirc </div>
<div>
<div>3. rename /lib/modules/$KVER/kernel/drivers/usb/input/ati_remote.ko to
something else (e.g ati_remote.ko.orig)</div>4. Add "alias char-major-61
lirc_atiusb" and "alias lirc_dev lirc_atiusb" to modprobe.conf</div>
<div>5. # /sbin/chkconfig lircd on</div>
<div>6. Reboot to stop ati_remote.ko and start lircd<br>
7. # mknod /dev/lirc c 61 0</div>
<div>8. # chmod 666 /dev/lirc*</div>
<div>8. I created my own lirc.conf with irrecord, because Litwillers lirc.conf did not work. I did not check <a href="http://www.lirc.org/">www.lirc.org</a> whether there were one that worked.</div>
<div>9. Test it with irw. Remember to kill mythfrontend so that mythfrontend
does not lock the device.</div>
<div>10. Download Litwillers <a href="http://www.litwiller.net/mythtv/lircrc.txt">http://www.litwiller.net/mythtv/lircrc.txt</a> to /home/~mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc</div>
<br>
So I have both a /dev/lirc and a /dev/lircd. It did not work without the /dev/lirc:<br>
<br>
[root@PC133 ~]# ll /dev/li*<br>
crw------- 1 root root 61, 0 8 sep 20:01 /dev/lirc<br>
crw------- 1 root root 61, 0 8 sep 20:01 /dev/lirc0<br>
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 11 sep 10:11 /dev/lircd<br>
<br>
