Buffer Overrun...

[Pedro W. <ped...@bo...>]

Hi,

I am using the home made serial receiver, according to the schematics
presented on  the page, except for the IR receiver, that I tried several
diferent ones...

The first time I used it, there was a lot of interference from the
fluorescent lights in my room, then I put a small piece of red plastic as
a filter on the hole of the serial plug, in front of the IR receiver, and
now it works only on the signal from the RC...

The problem is that when I press some button on it, I get too much
signals... the log just repeats the message "Buffer overun" for
several hundred times... the same repeats with any of the receivers I
used... I already read the other message concerning this problem, and
tried the solutions presented there, but none worked...

None of my RC, even with the correct lircd.conf file worked... irrecord
just print some dots and them prints the message "could not find gap, gap
not found, can't continue"...

My mainboard (FIC VA-503+ with Winbond 83877TF) has some options
concerning using serial port 2 as IR port...

UART 2 Mode > HPSIR, ASKIR, Standard
IR Funtion Duplex > Half, Full
RxD, TxD Active > Hi, HI; Hi, Lo; Lo, Hi; Lo, Lo;

Of course, I tried with all possible settings...

I am running linux kernel v2.4.20 with preemptive patch on an AMD K6-2 450 mhz...

Thanks for your time...
