 |
|
I am trying to install lirc on my computer : kernel 2.6.11 without any succes.
/etc/make.conf
| Code: |
...
LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=silitek"
... |
modprobe -l
| Code: | ...
lirc_serial
lirc_dev
...
|
modprobe lirc_serial and modprobe lirc_dev return "... invalid module format"
Does someone have any idea on how to solve this. |

Hi!
As I understand silitek is a serial reciver. You should not use lirc_serial, you should use the 8250 serial driver in the kernel. It's problably already compiled in the kernel. You don't need to load any lirc_* modules for that reciver.
Make sure you have the kernel serial driver compiled, and then start lirc with:
| Code: | | lircd --device=/dev/ttyS0 --driver=silitek |
And, you also need the correct lircd.conf file, which you should have if you got lirc from portage (LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=silitek") |

Well I tried your tips Fredde.
WHEN I RUN mode2, I GET an answer telling me /dev/lirc is missing. |
