Hi, I'm fairly new to LIRC and want to use it on my Toshiba Satellite 3000/214 notebook. I installed LIRC as documented (setup.sh, selected SIR module, configure & make install), but when I execute mode2 to test my installation, the system completely freezes. I think this happens, when the lirc_sir module is loaded, because a 'modprobe lirc_sir' let the system freeze, too. My system is a is SuSE 7.3 Professional with Kernel 2.4.10-4GB, all IRDA services are switched off. Does anyone has experience with LIRC on this type of Toshiba notebooks?

Yes, I've reports that this happens when the hardware simply isn't there. In most cases you have to enable the SIR port in the BIOS. But I think Toshiba notebooks don't have SIR support at all. LIRC won't work in this case. Christoph |

Fortunately you was wrong with this guess ;) I enabled the SIR mode in the BIOS with I/O 0x2f8 and IRQ 3, added these parameters to my /etc/modules.conf and now it works! But I had to look into lirc_sir.c to see, how to pass the parameters correctly, because the I/O parameter is called 'iobase' and not 'port' for this module: alias char-major-61 lirc_sir options lirc_sie irq=3 iobase=0x2f8 Regards, Joern -- LINUX - Linux Is Not gnU linuX |

This will also be its name in the next LIRC release. Christoph |
