(/var/log/messages will have a message to this effect). I went thru <br>> this recently where lircd would start fine but would disappear after I <br>> invoked 'irw', which will return with 'connection refused'. The reason <br>> in my case was that the in-kernel driver (pvrusb2) didn't have the <br>> support for lirc for the chip 24xx. I downloaded the tar and built the <br>> driver myself, and it all started working.<br>><br>> so, check to see if your driver for the IR device is working properly <br>> and /dev/lirc/0 is getting created. See if you are using in-kernel <br>> version now whereas you used the self-built latest module earlier.<br>><br>> other possibility (in case you didn't upgrade kernel, change any <br>> modules, or upgrade lirc) could be udev upgrade messed up something <br>> and is no longer creating /dev/lirc/0.<br>><br>> -devsk<br>><br>How can I check to see if my driver for the IR device is working
<br>properly? If I try to go into /dev/lirc/ it says not a directory. How do <br>I know if I am using the in-kernel version vs a compiled version? I <br>downloaded the source for lirc and did the make install procedure again <br>to no avail. The only thing I can think of that would have broken it was <br>some updates I installed today, but I unchecked off of the ones dealing <br>with kernel headers and stuff to try to avoid this issue...<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br>mythtv-users@mythtv.org<br><a target="_blank" href="http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users">http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users</a><br></div></div><br></div></div><br>__________________________________________________<br>Do You Yahoo!?<br>Tired of spam?
