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 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

My OS. is RedHad 7.0. Dongle is in com1and is MA-600.when I insmod lirc_sir.o and load the AP. irrecord, I could not get the right signal.but using ESI dongle can.

Most serial port dongles need a special programming sequence to change the baudrate. It's not enough to change the baudrate in the UART as an autodetection is not possible. So your dongle simply is not supported. We only support built-in SIR devices and partially the Tekram IRmate 210 dongle. Christoph |

hi: if I want the Ma600 dongle to get the right signals and "record" the right data . what shall I config?and what shall I do ? I have the drivers ma600, how should I modify the lirc_sir.c? y t __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

I followed all the instructions to the letter, but when I try to install the lirc_sir kernel module I get the following result: # modprobe lirc_sir /lib/modules/2.4.18-24.8.0/misc/lirc_sir.o: unresolved symbol __wake_up /lib/modules/2.4.18-24.8.0/misc/lirc_sir.o: unresolved symbol register_chrdev /lib/modules/2.4.18-24.8.0/misc/lirc_sir.o: unresolved symbol remove_wait_queue /lib/modules/2.4.18-24.8.0/misc/lirc_sir.o: unresolved symbol __pollwait /lib/modules/2.4.18-24.8.0/misc/lirc_sir.o: unresolved symbol add_wait_queue /lib/modules/2.4.18-24.8.0/misc/lirc_sir.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-24.8.0/misc/lirc_sir.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.18-24.8.0/misc/lirc_sir.o: insmod lirc_sir failed What am I missing? I'm using the latest source (lirc-0.6.6). Thanks! -Mike -- Michael J. Sherman | msh...@st... "Political correctness is just tyranny with manners." -Charlton Heston |

Hello, I try to get lirc working with my Gericom Masterpiece Notebook. If I insert serial.o dmesg shows: ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a16550A If I insert lirc_sir.o with these arguments I get this results: lirc_sir: i/o port 0x02f8, IRQ 3. enable_irq(3) ubalanced from d8da2a13 lirc_sir: Installed. (Almost) The same with no arguments. llircd runs without error (just "licd(sir) ready") The problem is, that I can't receive nor send any signals. I tried different remotes with mode2, irrecord and irw. Does somebody have an idea? axel ______________________________________________________________________________ UNICEF bittet um Spenden fur die Kinder im Irak!

Is there any way to use this module with an ACT-IR200L without compiling LIRC? I am using Fedora 5. Best Regards, Peter |

It was somewhat older model without usb, however. Unloading USB modules won't help, the USB hardware might be generating IRQs even without the driver loaded. So, try this: 1) The driver goes to another IRQ by default - load it with parameters: irq=11 and iobase=SOMETHING, look at your manual or bios setup for the value of SOMETHING. 2) if this will fail, change the IRQ for IrDA in BIOS setup. 3) if it won't work, place your machine on the net and reply me privately.

Well, I was able to get the lirc_sir module to load, but, unfortunately, no dice with lirc. The IR port is on irq 11 and IO base at 0xffc0. The module won't load if I have USB loaded since they share the same interrupt. If I unload USB, lirc_sir loads, but does not seem to work, at least not mode2. The problem I think is that on Toshiba laptops with the toshiba PCI bridge, all devices on the pci bus get the same IRQ. I guess I'll try and seem if I can disable USB in the bios, unfortunately, I don't think I can. It seems I may be out of luck. Any suggestions?

The module won't ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Somewhat strange numbers - especially the IO base. This looks like the FIR (fast infrared mode) IRQ and IO base; the driver talks SIR. We all hope, that your IR hardware has both FIR and SIR interfaces. Try to look at the IR port settings, if it really have only these IRQ and port addresses. If you'll find another addresses, try them. And try the "standard" addresses for COM1-COM4, too (unloading the serial module first). You'll find them somewhere in the lirc package. Just in case this IS the correct sir-mode irq and iobase: Your suggestion about one IRQ for all devices on PCI might be true, but I'd give it one more chance: try to set IRQ for the IR device manually, using 'setpci' command. Mount your disks read-only before (if you can) - changing something with setpci often have a strange side effects :) Milan -- Milan Pikula, WWW.

Well, I tried all the standard COM port settings and had no luck. when i load lirc_sir with com's 1 and 3's settings (irq 4, 0x03f8 or 0x03e8) or the fir device's resources (irq 11, 0xffc0), the module loads, but doesn't work. with com's 2 and 4 (irq 3 0x02f8 or 0x02e8) the machine locks hard. When I load the serial module, it only shows ttyS00. No other serial ports. Also when I run the irda utility "findchip" I get no output. I guess I might try some DOS irda utilities next. > > Just in case this IS the correct sir-mode irq and > iobase: > Your suggestion about one IRQ for all devices on PCI > might be true, but I'd give it one more chance: try > to set IRQ for the IR device manually, using > 'setpci' > command.
