Hey All, I've been battling with my onboard IrDa port (I know, I know) trying to get it to work, this is how far i've gotten so far. Laptop: Compaq evo n1000v Distro/kernel: 2.6.20-gentoo-r7 (Gentoo) LIRC version: 0.8.1 (gentoo ebuild) with LIRC_DEVICES="sir" to build lirc_sir module. Onboard IrDa: for FIR uses nsc-ircc (which I DONT load) HP HDSL1100/2100 Dongle # modprobe 8250 Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing disabled serial8250: ttyS2 at I/O 0x3e8 (irq = 4) is a NS16550A # modprobe lirc_dev lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61 lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 0 # setserial /dev/ttyS2 uart none # modprobe lirc_sir io=0x03e8 lirc_sir: I/O port 0x03e8, IRQ 4. lirc_sir: Installed. Device shows up in /dev/lirc/0 so I then: # lircd -d /dev/lirc/0 lircd-0.8.1[12861]: could not open config file '/etc/lircd.conf' lircd-0.8.1[12861]: No such file or directory lircd-0.8.1[12862]: lircd(sir) ready So I think great! I've gotten this far with no hiccups. try # mode2 and NOTHING, no input whatsoever Trying other io/irq combinations yield no better results. # cat /proc/tty/driver/serial serinfo:1.0 driver revision: 0: uart:unknown port:000003F8 irq:4 1: uart:unknown port:000002F8 irq:3 2: uart:unknown port:000003E8 irq:4 3: uart:unknown port:000002E8 irq:3 Any ideas? My remote is an Easytip by RuWido, which I've gotten working fine on another laptop with a serial receiver. I'm using the Compaq laptop for a freevo HTPC box and it lacks a serial port hence the onboard IrDa attempt. |
