Right. On Gentoo here, udev automatically createst the lirc device file /dev/lirc/0 after modprobe of lirc_dev && lirc_irc. The lirc daemon then references the configurable device file location via /etc/conf.d/lircd. As lirc package here provides seperate lirc modules (like nvidia but opensource), I frequently forget to recompile the lirc modules after rebooting on upgrading my kernel. As such, I also then have to reload the pvrusb2 driver && mythbackend to make sure I have infrared support working. With the continued development of udev & dbus, hopeful lirc issues will resolve and drivers & service won't need to be reloade for lirc to work? -- Roger http://www.eskimo.com/~roger/index.html Key fingerprint = 8977 A252 2623 F567 70CD 1261 640F C963 1005 1D61 Sat Dec 30 03:41:33 PST 2006 _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
