Hello, and a happy Pentacoste to all, i have a question. i am trying to get my irda port to work with an atysys ir dongle plugged to the irda port of my gigabyte amd duron board(ga7zx) on a LFS-homebuild-linuxsystem with 2.4.2 kernel, glib 2.1.3, gcc 2.95.2 i made setup to take com2 (2f8, irq 4), compiled and installed lirc-package without complains and the insmod lirc_sir.o worked, after a setserial ttyS3 uart none, lsmod gave lirc_sir 11408 0, now i went to compile a new kernel, from docs i learned, that generic serial support has to be in the kernel, which i found, was already present in my installed kernel, so - dont i have to activate infrared support at all in the kernel? - if run irrecord or mode2, they dont give any input feedback - lircd started with ../remotes/hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge for my hauppauge remote control, with ps uax i get the line USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND .. .. dieter 3073 0.0 0.7 2112 1416 ttyp1 S 10:27 0:00 vi /tmp/mutt-Duro root 7969 0.0 0.2 1096 488 ? <- S 11:24 0:00 ./lircd ../remote dieter 7972 0.9 32.3 62596 61732 ttyp3 S 11:24 0:09 lynx . dieter 7977 0.0 0.4 1832 800 ttyp1 S 11:40 0:00 /bin/bash -c (ps dieter 7978 0.0 0.3 2256 700 ttyp1 R 11:40 0:00 ps uax with no serial port assigned to lircd. I think, i have to check the bios settings, what else can i do? i want to use lirc 1. to control my WinTV dvb-s card with dvb driver and VDR sofware, 2. to control my xmms and other music software. Can someone on the list who has maybe a similar setting, give me a quick step by step, or just any hint, how not to go onto such a grand debugging tour? So any help will be appreciated, Dieter |

COM2 has IRQ 3, COM2 is ttyS1. The real question is which port is assigned to IR, which you should see in your BIOS. > now i went to compile a new kernel, from docs i learned, that generic > serial support has to be in the kernel, which i found, was already Actually it's absolutely irrelevant, as long as you have it as a module or use setserial like described. > - dont i have to activate infrared support at all in the kernel? The kernel provides IrDA support, LIRC provides CIR support. > - if run irrecord or mode2, they dont give any input feedback Probably wrong port.

There's no controlling TTY assigned to lircd which is absolutely normal for a daemon program. Christoph |
