Re: can't get mode2 to work with home-brew receiver

[Jim S. <ji...@st...>]

I just realized that I copied the wrong lines from syslog.  The lines I 
copied are before I plugged the receiver back in the serial port.  Here 
are the correct lines:

Dec 31 12:30:28 woodland kernel: lirc_serial: in init_timing_params, 
freq=38000, duty_cycle=50, clk/jiffy=3178496, pulse=41822, space=41822, 
conv_us_to_clocks=3178
Dec 31 12:30:29 woodland kernel: lirc_serial: auto-detected active low 
receiver
Dec 31 12:30:29 woodland kernel: lirc_dev: 
lirc_register_plugin:sample_rate: 0
