You do need to disable the serial port, you'll need to check which device you need (/dev/ttys0 or /dev/tts/0)
# setserial /dev/tts/0 /dev/tts/0, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 You also need to load both modules - check using: # lsmod |grep irc lirc_serial 7808 1 lirc_dev 9232 1 [lirc_serial] I had to set the IRQ/IO settings at compile time for the lirc_serial dev. I used gentoo, so added the following to /etc/make.conf: LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=packard_bell --with-irq=4 --with-port=0x03F8" These are the defaults for the first serial port com1: Also check /dev/lirc/0 is set up correctly: # ls -l /dev/lirc/0 crw------- 1 root root 61, 0 Dec 31 1969 /dev/lirc/0 Once its up and running it works great, but when using irrecord if says its using raw mode, repeat the whole process - it took me 3 attempts to get 'clean' codes, but once I did it works a treat. - Chris On Thu, 5 Aug 2004 14:18:03 +0200, "Magnus Karlsson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > Hi all, > > I've had a struggle with Lirc and the packard bell remote.
