Ok im still stuck with lirc_serial getting control of the serial port,
Heres a summary of where im at.<br>
<br>
I have 3 methods to blast with: pvr150, pvrusb2 (HVR-1950), and COM1.<br>
Im currently trying to use the serial port method (lirc_serial) and
what a pain.<br>
If anyone has anything working with opensuse 11.X (im running 11.2)
that can transmit via IR, please post the details.<br>
Im running lirc 0.8.6 from a repo called vdr<br>
<a href="http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/vdr/openSUSE_11.2"
target="_blank">Index of /repositories/vdr/openSUSE_11.2</a><br>
<br>
Heres where im at with lirc_serial:<br>

Ive tried to run (with 0,1,2)<br>
<div style="margin: 5px 20px 20px;">
<div class="smallfont" style="margin-bottom: 2px;">Code:</div>
<pre class="alt2" dir="ltr"
style="border: 1px inset ; margin: 0px; padding: 6px; overflow: auto; width: 640px; height: 34px; text-align: left;">setserial /dev/ttySX uart none</pre>
</div>
but it doesnt seem to have any effect. Some research seem to say that
has to be run before the kernel loads its serial module. Thats fixed by
doing stuff in /etc/modprobe.d. Ive tried putting things in there, but
nothing has worked.<br>
Most guides are 10.X and the configuration appears to have changed to
separate files?<br>
One such example: <a
