I'm running a serial receiver in one of my mythbuntu frontends:
/etc/lirc/hardware.conf excerpt
#Chosen Remote Control
REMOTE="Hauppauge Gray (comes with DVB-s card)"
REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_serial"
REMOTE_DRIVER=""
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""
#Enable lircd
START_LIRCD="true"
#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES="true"
Your sample seems to look for the hardware on /dev/lirc while the modules provide /dev/lirc0
Bye, Martin
