Okay, so having no luck whatsoever using the Actisys IR210L with my
nforce2 motherboard IR header, I decided to get an RS232 IR receiver
from <a href="http://www.zapway.de">http://www.zapway.de</a>. I just got it today; I tested it
successfully on my laptop in windows on WinLIRC. The setting I used to
make it work was to indicate that it was a "DCD" device, not an RX
device. I'm not sure what that means, or how that affects my LIRC
install process on Linux. If anyone could give me some poin ters, I
would be extremely grateful. As of now, I get no response from mode2 on
my mythtv box. I am using serial port 2, and have disabled the IR
header in the bios. Aside from that, here is what I believe to be
relevant information:<br>
<br>
/etc/modprobe.d:<br>
install lirc_serial /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_serial<br>
<br>
alias char-major-61 lirc_serial<br>
options lirc_serial irq=3 io=0x2f8<br>
###<br>
<br>
# lsmod|grep lirc<br>
lirc_serial 13792 0<br>
lirc_dev 14820 1 lirc_serial<br>
<br>
# ls -l /dev/lirc*<br>
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 61, 0 2006-04-13 20:36 /dev/lirc<br>
crw-rw---- 1 root root 61, 0 2006-04-13 21:34 /dev/lirc0<br>
srw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2006-04-13 22:18 /dev/lircd<br>
prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2006-04-13 20:36 /dev/lircm<br>
<br>
I recompiled the lirc_serial driver to accomodate a UART 16x50 serial
driver. I'm assuming that's what's appropr5iate here. Again, any
pointers would be really appreciated. Thanks!<br>
