Ok, So I made some changes, but I'm still not any closer to a solution unfortunately.
I used the commands you suggested: mknod /dev/lirc0 c 61 0 ln -s /dev/lirc0 /dev/lirc And now I have this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] dev]# ls -l /dev/lir* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 29 22:06 /dev/lirc -> /dev/lirc0 crw-r--r-- 1 root root 61, 0 Dec 29 22:05 /dev/lirc0 srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Dec 29 22:09 /dev/lircd *I noticed I don't have lircm, could this be an issue? Also before I ran mknod and ln -s, lircd was the only one listed. Should lirc already exist or does that just get created during the ln -s step? Then I restarted the lircd service, and still no luck. Here is the messages: Dec 29 22:09:26 schmitzerLNX lircd-0.8.1-CVS[3106]: lircd(userspace) ready Dec 29 22:09:29 schmitzerLNX lircd-0.8.1-CVS[3106]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd Dec 29 22:09:29 schmitzerLNX lircd-0.8.1-CVS[3106]: could not open /dev/lirc0 Dec 29 22:09:29 schmitzerLNX lircd-0.8.1-CVS[3106]: default_init(): No such device Dec 29 22:09:29 schmitzerLNX lircd-0.8.1-CVS[3106]: caught signal *Same errors as before, but now I do have lirc0 created via mknod Also here is my lirc.rules file if that helps at all KERNEL=="lirc[0-9]*", NAME="lirc%n" KERNEL=="lirc0", SYMLINK="lirc" On 12/29/06, Roger J.
