Hi, I have a notebook with build-in IrDA. I haven't tried it out=20 in "normal" use yet since I don't have any other IRDA device, but with the modules for ir-tty I can see data that's (supposed to be) sent with irdadump.=20 Installation of lirc (0.6.6) went fine. I chose COM1 (ttyS0) on 0x03f8, IRQ 4. I was told to use the lirc_sir module, so I did that. But none of the programs work. Ok, let's go through it step by step: - Since my serial driver gets loaded on boot (but isn't used normally), I unloaded it: # /sbin/rmmod serial - I loaded lirc_sir: # /sbin/modprobe lirc_sir - I checked the serial port: # statserial /dev/ttyS0 statserial: TIOCMGET failed: Input/output error # setserial /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ttyS0, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 (ttyS1 shows up as a regular serial Port with UART 16550A.) - I started mode2 and pressed a few buttons on my Kenwood RC-5040 remote control (distance 10 to 20 cm). Nothing happened.=20 No output from mode2 whatsoever. - I started lircd (with one of the config files provided by the tar file from lirc.org. No output whatsoever, this seems ok. - I tried to send out some signals with rc: $ rc SEND_ONCE RC-0502 STOP No output whatsoever, seems to be ok. No reaction from my audio devices, but that's no wonder since it's the wrong RC. So, what's going wrong here? What did I miss?

Check your BIOS settings. Use a SIR selection(not ASK mode), and make note of any config info:COMX, IRQ#, IO-ADDRESS. Are you sure COM1/ttyS0 is correct? You can do some checks with the normal serial driver: Open the com-port with something(miniterm?), tap a few keys to try sending chars,.. You won't know if they went out the port, but it may complain if serial driver doesn't like something. While doing this, check if any IRQ's are accumulating in /proc/irq, if you see them then that would indicate the port is probably working. Also, see if a remote generates some junk characters coming in. If all this fails, perhaps your laptop has some special needs in setting up the IRDA hardware. Search the web or the Linux IRDA code for your Laptop make or model to see if there is anything unusual about it. Let us know what you find. Karl.
