lirc_sir

[Alex D. <ag...@ya...>]

I'm trying to get LIRC working on my toshiba laptop,
but have not had much success.  I downloaded lirc
0.6.3 and it built fine.  I have a custom build of
2.4.4 with serial as a module.  whenever I insert
lirc_sir, the machine locks hard.  I've tried to check
out the serial port using minicom, inserting the
serial module, setting speed to 115K, 7N1, with no
flow control, but I can't seem to see any output.  The
only thing is minicom always seems to try to
initialize a modem rather than just opening up the
port, how does one avoid it doing this or is there
another way to check this.  I've checked that the
remotes produce output to the terminal using win98 on
my desktop PC using an IR dongle, but I can't check
the port on the laptop with windows since it only has
linux on it.

Has anyone had any experience using linux on toshiba? 
The IR port is a toshiba oboe FIR port.  It uses irq
11, and so does the USB port.  I was thinking this
might be the problem, but I get a hard lock, even if
the usb modules are not loaded.

Thanks,

Alex
