Unable to get lirc working, completely stumped

I've been trying to get lirc working with an MCE remote and USB IR Receiver (eData DEC-200B), but I am having no luck. I'm running debian 4.0 (and I've tried this on debian unstable as well) and compiled the lirc_mceusb* drivers. Everything is installed from the debian distribution (kernel, lirc, module-source, etc). I'm running udev and after initial installation I see: crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 61, 0 Apr 22 21:45 /dev/lirc srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Apr 25 07:50 /dev/lircd prw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Apr 22 21:45 /dev/lircm However, when I reboot the system, all I see is: srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Apr 25 07:50 /dev/lircd I modprobe lirc_mceusb2 and I can see from dmesg that the modules (lirc_dev & lirc_mceusb2) load, but there still isn't a /dev/lirc. I went ahead and ran mode2, and got this error: mode2: error opening /dev/lirc mode2: No such device So I tried: mknod /dev/lirc c 61 0 And re-ran mode2, but still I got the same error. I've tried the lirc_mceusb driver as well, but got the same results as above. These leads me to think a few things: A) The IR Receiver doesn't work in Linux. Hhowever I seen multiple posts that says it works just fine without any problems in Linux, so I don't think that's it. B) The IR Receiver is broken. It's brand new so while this is possible, it seems unlikely. C) I'm missing something in the setup/configuration. I've done extensive google searches, but nothing I have found has changed the results I've gotten. Can anyone help me out? Rob |
