Hello. I've a problem with FlyVideo 98FM LR50. First I thought it's related to the way how lirc was compiled/packaged in Arch, but few minutes ago I've compiled it using cvs sources and it's exactly the same, it doesn't work. My previous posts on Arch forums describe what I was trying to do: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=28166&sid=f7acbb8b3b06b0ab70f424fcc6a0339d but briefly. I've compiled lirc this way: _kernver=2.6.19-ARCH ./configure --enable-sandboxed --prefix=/usr \ --with-driver=flyvideo --with-kerneldir=/usr/src/linux-${_kernver} \ --with-moduledir=/lib/modules/${_kernver}/kernel/drivers/misc I've the right config copied to /etc/lircd.conf. First i load bttv: modprobe bttv card=56 radio=1 pll=1 then lirc_dev, lirc_gpio, exactly as it used to work for years. What's strange about lircd: lircd --driver= Driver `' not supported. Supported drivers: default Looks like flyvideo is not supported, but i don't remember if previous versions were showing flyvideo here. When i start lircd, irexec (as root or a normal user) everything seems fine, but irw shows no buttons pressed and the remote is not working. configure --help shows flyvideo as one of available drivers, but... Were there any changes between 0.8.0 and cvs of now affecting this driver? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong? Regards, W. -- Talkers are no good doers. http://greblus.net/djangoblog/ |

If anyone has similar configuration working on 2.6.19 I'd love to know :).= =20 Regards, W. --=20 Talkers are no good doers. http://greblus.net/djangoblog/ |

Something must have changed in the recent kernels. My card isn't automatica= lly=20 detected when loading bttv module (and never was), so I was loading the mod= ule=20 with card=3D56 modprobe option (other ids were also working for the tv, but= the remote=20 (AFAIR) worked best with this one). It was working, but recently something'= s changed=20 (somwhere between 2.6.16 - 2.6.19). mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 showed that there w= as nothing=20 going on when buttons were pressed. I started fiddling with different card ids and with card=3D35 mode2 outpute= d some keycodes.=20 That was it. All I had to do, was to generate a new lircd.conf using irrecord. Now it wo= rks even better=20 than before (i can press buttons when the remote is in an arbitrary positio= n). lspci says it's 01:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation = Bt878 Video Capture=20 (rev 11), the card is a flyvideo 98 with fm tuner. I suppose it's not widel= y used, but maybe someone=20 will have similar problem and will find it useful. Now i've a perfectly working Arch installation (lirc was the last thing mis= sing from my previous distro). Attached is the automatically generated lircd.conf file (at least the keys = i use).=20 Regards, W. --=20 Talkers are no good doers. http://greblus.net/djangoblog/ |
