Mode2 doesn't work

[<st...@bi...>]

Hi to all
I use mandrake 9.1 and I have make the IR circuit
(http://www.lirc.org/images/schematics.gif), in windows work fine...

I have exec
./setup
make
make install

Then I set chmod /dev/lircd 666

But if I view 

[root@Laptop lircrc_config-0.1.1]# ls /dev/lir* -all
crw-r--r--    1 root     root      61,   0 gen 21  2004 /dev/lirc
srw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 gen 21 00:49 /dev/lircd=
prw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 gen 21  2004 /dev/lircm|
[root@Laptop lircrc_config-0.1.1]#

What is /dev/lircd= and /dev/lircm= ?

Then after a reboot I use
setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
insmod lirc_serial

But with lircd command:
[root@Laptop lircrc_config-0.1.1]# lircd lircd 0.6.6: could not open config
file '/etc/lircd.conf'
lircd 0.6.6: No such file or directory
[root@Laptop lircrc_config-0.1.1]#

After it if I also try to exec mode2 I don't view input

What can I do?

Also if I copy ./contrib/lircd.conf in /etc/ and, after kill the process, I
try to use lircd and mode2 I don't view data

Thanks a lot
