irman problem

[Mark H. <mar...@xs...>]

Hi,


I've been using an irman receiver with LIRC quite a while ago,
and it all seemed to work quite well, I had it setup and working
within a single evening.

I haven't been using it for about a year now, and have
meanwhile upgraded my Linux installation several times.

However today I wanted to get it to work again, but seem to
be running into some problems that I do not understand.

I try to run the lircd daemon, with the command
# lircd -d /dev/ttyS0

That seems to work, but when I start irw it exits
after a few seconds. Looking at the lircd logfile
it says:

	accepted new client on /dev/lircd
	could not open /dev/ttyS0
	irman_init(): Connection timed out
	cought singal

So I try to run the test_io program, and that generates
the following:

# test_io /dev/ttyS0
IR
error reading handshake (Connection timed out)

Does anyone have an idea what's wrong here?
Any other tests I can run, or settings I can play with?
I would really like to get it working again, so any
answers/hints are very much appreciated!


Kind regards,
Mark.
