Please excuse me if I'm missing something that I
shouldn't. I *think* I've
followed the install guide and other sources
carefully.
I'm running Mandrake 9.1 and have done the following:
Uninstalled the Mandrake-supplied lirc.
Built lirc from the CVS.
Under devfs, the lirc_gpio module wants to create
/dev/lirc/0 rather than
/dev/lirc, so I removed the /dev/lirc special device
created by lirc's make
install and made a directory instead. Did chmod 666
/dev/lirc? and chmod
777 /dev/lirc.
Added alias char-major-61 lirc_gpio to the top of
/etc/modules.conf
(position probably doesn't matter for gpio).
Manual start (modprobe lirc_gpio && /usr/sbin/lircd
--device=/dev/lirc/0)
works as expected. Did ldconfig after first manual
start.
Added /usr/sbin/lircd --device=/dev/lirc/0 to the end
of rc.local. --device
is needed since lircd tries to hook to /dev/lirc
regardless of what
lirc_gpio did.
On boot, lircd does not start successfully, apparently
because the lirc_gpio
module is not loading. I thought that it would load
automatically due to
the alias in modules.conf. Is the /dev/lirc/0 thing
the problem?
I don't have the Mandrake script to start lircd
because, from what I read
elsewhere, I uninstalled the Mandrake lirc rpm.
Thanks for any help. After getting this one last
thing ironed out perhaps I
can find a way to contribute.
