           Product: lirc
         Component: lirc
           Summary: lircd does not create /dev/lirc/0
           Version: 0.6.6-1mdk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


With the latest cooker update from 6th of March, lircd does not create /dev/lirc/0.  I 
am taking 
a stab in the dark and assuming that because I run a system with devfs that the module 
is not 
creating the devfs entry. 
 
Changing /etc/sysconfig/lircd from: 
 
(this results in lircmd and crew not being able to communicate with the kernel space 
portion of 
this and hence all the problems that arrise from that) 
 
# The device node that communicates with the IR device. 
 
# with devfs enabled 
DEVICE=/dev/lirc/0 
 
# without devfs 
#DEVICE=/dev/lirc 
 
To: 
 
# The device node that communicates with the IR device. 
 
# with devfs enabled 
#DEVICE=/dev/lirc/0 
 
# without devfs 
DEVICE=/dev/lirc 
 
Fixes the problem and all other remaining mdk packages work as expected (tested with 
irw 
and xawtv).  I've banged my head about this one for a month or so now since getting my 
new 
PV951 tuner card and just decided to have another dig at it.  Hopefully this will get 
fixed for the 
final release.
