[mythtv-users] LIRC problems

[Roger McClurg]

I am installing Mythtv on Gentoo Linux. I am using a VIA EPIA M10000 
with a PVR-350 for hardware.  I can't seem to get lirc working right. 
I've followed evry howto I can find for Mythtv and this 
hardware/software, searched the archives, and monitored this list, but I 
can't find an answer.

I've loaded the modules and got lircd.conf setup correctly (I think), 
but I don't get a character device /dev/lirc0, instead I get a 
/dev/lirc/0. Irrecord works OK, but irw errors out with "Connection 
refused". I tried giving it /dev/lirc/0 as a socket with the same 
results. I tried a symlink /dev/lirc0-> /dev/lirc/0 with the same results.

I sure would appreciate any help.

Here is some info that might help:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pvr ~ # cat /etc/modules.d/ivtv
alias char-major-81     videodev
alias char-major-81-0   ivtv
alias char-major-81-1   ivtv
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c
