it87 interrupt problems

[Magnus E. <ko...@ly...>]

My motherboard (digimatrix from Asus) has a ite8705 chip in it and comes 
with a nice remote control.

I'm trying to get Lirc running, but I can't get it working.

I can see that the module lirc_it87 does find the chip and manages to 
register the IO and IRQ.

The problem is: I don't get any interrupts when I use the remote. Also, 
mode2 shows nothing.

Do I need additional modules to get it87 running?

Does lircd need to be started for mode2 to work?

Cheers,
Magnus
