Re: pvr-350 and lirc

[Humberto. R. B. <hum...@in...>]

	Hi,

	I've got similar problems with an older WinTV-PVR PCI, kernel 2.4.20, lirc-0.7pre4

	Anurag, I think I got the same "no such device()" problem some days ago but
that's solved now , are you sure there is a file in /dev/lirc and /dev/lircd and
that the /dev/lirc is pointing to the 61,0? In my system this looks like (ls -l
/dev/lirc):

crw-------    1 root     root      61,   0 Feb 20 23:14 /dev/lirc


	I've managed to load properly lirc_dev and lirc_i2c, irw doesn't take me back to
the command line anymore, but still no response from the remote.

	Do you have any reports of a lirc working with this old card (WinTV-PVR PCI)?

	Any ideas to fix this?

	Thanks and cheers,

	Humberto R. Baptista


-relevant /etc/modules.conf lines:
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c

-After:
modprobe lirc_i2c debug=1
modprobe lirc_dev debug=1

-dmesg shows:
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61
i2c-core.o: driver i2c ir driver registered.
lirc_i2c: probe 0x1a @ bt848 #0: no

-and after starting lircd and trying irw (with _one_ keypress on the remote):
lirc_i2c: key (0x00/0x00)
lirc_i2c: key (0x00/0x00)
[... repeats this line thousands of times endlessly]

lirc_i2c: key (0xe0/0xb8)
lirc_i2c: key (0x00/0x00)
[... keeps repeating]

-and when I kill the lircd and remove the modules:
i2c-core.o: client [Hauppauge IR] unregistered.
i2c-core.o: driver unregistered: i2c ir driver

on the syslog we've got:
