[mythtv-users] IR Blaster: lirc_sir on Fedora Core w/ATrpms

[Emmanuel Hislen]

Hi,

I have just completed mythTV installation following Jarod's web page.

Video/Audio is working great.
lirc is working for my PVR-350 grey remote, there was no issue here.

Now only one detail is missing, the IR blaster, which is a MUST because 
I have a digital Sattelite receiver and it does not have a serial port.

I am running the following kernel:

2.4.22-1.2163.nptl_32.rhfc1.at

I did not find instructions on Jarod's page about the IR blaster. I 
looked on the MythTV Doc and could not get it to work.

I bought the Actisys ACT-IR200L.

I cannot even modprobe lirc_sir, it systematically hangs the machine.

Has anybody got an IR Blaster to work with this kernel?
How can I find out wheter or not lirc_sir.o has been compiled with 
support for the Actisys?

Some lirc tools like 'rc' which are needed for an IR blaster seem to be 
missing from my installation.



Thanks,

Emmanuel.
