[mythtv-users] Re: Lirc - could not open /dev/lirc

Make sure in your /etc/modules.conf you have a line that says something like
this

alias char-major-61 lirc_xxxx

It can be whichever lirc module you use... Here are the ones to choose from

lirc_atiusb.o
lirc_bt829.o
lirc_dev.o
lirc_gpio.o
lirc_i2c.o
lirc_it87.o
lirc_mceusb.o
lirc_serial.o
lirc_sir.o

Goodluck.

I tried this command.  Unfortunately Lirc still doesn't work after a reboot.
