I did have Lirc working, and everything was great, but somehow the device node got changed, and is now totally gone.
Basically, I had lirc reading from /dev/lirc0. That somehow moved to /dev/lirc/0, easy enough to compensate for, but about two or three hours after changing /etc/conf.d/lircd, /dev/lirc/0 disappeared leaving behind /dev/lircd as the only thing closely resembling the correct devicde node. I use udev, which I thought should take care of all of this stuff, but for some reason it's not. I have no idea what files are important for this, but lirc is now reinstalled with the default settings, and it's still not working (lack of a device node).
Any ideas, or need any more information to get any ideas...? |

Hi!
What kind of rules do udev have for lirc? (/etc/udev/rules/lirc.rules, not sure this is the correct path) |

| Just says to make nodes at /dev/lirc/0-9, which explains why that behavior changed from /dev/lirc0, but now I don't know why it's not showing up at all. |

My lirc udev rules file is called:
| Code: | | /etc/udev/rules.d/10-lirc.rules |
this file looks like:
| Code: | | KERNEL="lirc[0-9]*", NAME="lirc" |
I changed it from:
| Code: | | KERNEL="lirc[0-9]*", NAME="lirc/%n" |
The later will create the node /dev/lirc/0 when you load the lirc kernel modules (the first will create /dev/lirc).
The lirc device should be created when you load the lirc kernel module (I use the ATI Remote, so I load lirc_dev and lirc_atiusb). |

...yes.
However...it was almost a year ago...and to be honest, I haven't a clue what I did to make it work. I do know that now I can use the remote without any trouble though.
Good luck? |
