Second LIRC process not working with IR200L

[Ryan B. (US) <rya...@us...>]

I'm trying to setup an Actisys IR200L on a mythtv box to tune my digital
cable box, in addition to the input remote control that is already
working (Hauppauge PVR-350).  I compiled a second lirc process, with
char-major-62 and a prefix directory of /usr/local/lirc-xmit, as
described in the following thread:
 
	
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3324794&forum_id=
5339
 
It compiles and loads fine, but I can't use any of the executables.  I
always do a "setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none" before starting the daemon
or modprobing.  I load the second daemon with the following command:

	/usr/local/lirc-xmit/sbin/lircd /etc/lirc-xmit.conf

/etc/lirc-xmit.conf has the Scientific Atlanta explorer 2000 config I
found here: 

	http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/scientific_atlanta/ 

I'm hoping this file is close enough, but have a remote that works with
this box and am hoping I'll be able to do an irrecord to customize this
if necessary.  I've tried modprobing for lirc_sir first and then loading
the second daemon and I've tried loading the second daemon and then
modprobing for lirc_sir, neither gives an error, but neither works.
Here's the output with the nodaemon option while trying to run irw.  The
daemon will produce the "ready" line after first loading, the rest of
the output is produced after attempting to run irw, which immediately
returns a prompt.
 
	[root@localhost dev]# /usr/local/lirc-xmit/sbin/lircd
/etc/lirc-xmit.conf --nodaemon
	lircd 0.7.0pre4: lircd(act200l) ready
	lircd 0.7.0pre4: accepted new client on
/usr/local/lirc-xmit/dev/lircd
	lircd 0.7.0pre4: could not open /usr/local/lirc-xmit/dev/lirc
	lircd 0.7.0pre4: default_init(): No such device
	lircd 0.7.0pre4: caught signal
	Terminated

The following is the output of irrecord, while the daemon is running,
although the output is the same without it:
 
	[root@localhost mythtv]# /usr/local/lirc-xmit/bin/irrecord
lirc-xmit.conf
 
	irrecord -  application for recording IR-codes for usage with
lirc
 
	Copyright (C) 1998,1999 Christoph Bartelmus(li...@ba...)
 
	/usr/local/lirc-xmit/bin/irrecord: could not open
/usr/local/lirc-xmit/dev/lirc
	/usr/local/lirc-xmit/bin/irrecord: default_init(): No such
device
	/usr/local/lirc-xmit/bin/irrecord: could not init hardware
(lircd running ? --> close it, check permissions)

The daemon does not log anything while this is run.
 
Here's a listing of the /usr/local/lirc-xmit/dev directory:
 
	crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 62, 0 Jun  5 16:28 lirc
	srw-rw-rw-  1 root root     0 Jun  6 17:41 lircd
	prw-rw-rw-  1 root root     0 Jun  5 16:28 lircm

I'm running fedora core 1, kernel 2.4.22-1.2188.nptl_48.rhfc1.at.  I've
tried with the pre-built kernel and one that I recompiled with the
"Standard/generic (8250/16550 and compatible UARTs) serial support"
option set to modular. Same results.

If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong it would be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks.
