Hi, I'm attempting to set up my XBox as a Myth frontend. The old
one's hard drive died after being on for just about 18 months
straight; go fig.
So I decided to go Gentoo, as per the instructions here:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Gentoo_for_Xbox All is going well, except the
lirc driver doesn't seem to be picking up the DVD remote dongle. I'm
using app-misc/lirc-0.7.0-r1 with the XBox make.profile, and a
2.6.12.5-xbox kernel. I get the module lirc_xboxusb, I can load and
unload it with no problems, but I never get the /dev/lirc0 device node
like /etc/conf.d/lircd seems to expect to find. Any ideas, hints?
Thanks,
-Jon
The relevant portion of dmesg output:
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61
lirc_xbox: XBOX USB remote driver for LIRC v0.3
usbcore: registered new driver lirc_xbox
