Hi,
I have got two problems which seems to have the same source.
First one is with LIRC, i installed lirc 0.7.2 to make my pctv remote
control work with my linuxbox.
After installing it, i restart the system and run:
# lircd -n
and
#irw
in two different terminals (a standard method to check for signal). On
running the second command, both processes stop with the following error in
the first terminal:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# lircd -n
lircd 0.7.2: lircd(serial) ready
lircd 0.7.2: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
lircd 0.7.2: could not get file information for /dev/lirc
lircd 0.7.2: default_init(): No such file or directory
lircd 0.7.2: caught signal
Terminated
The file /dev/lirc was not there on restarting. Neither was any other file
like /dev/lirc0.
I had a similar problem with SVGAlib, which i installed for my course lab.
I installed svgalib 1.9.21 and also compiled the kernel modules seperately
as specified.
After restarting, i compile a simple graphics program and run its default
executable 'a.out'.
On this i get the following message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ./a.out
svgalib: Cannot open /dev/svga
Is svgalib_helper module loaded?
A few /dev/svga* files, which where there after installation was not there
after restarting the computer.
I feel its a problem with loading of modules at startup (but it may not be).
Can somebody help me with this problem,pls.
Vipin
