Re: lirc lirc-0.8.4a-1.fc10.i386 irsend not working properly for me

[Jay J. <cu...@ch...>]

THANKS!!!  That fixed it.  (I am guessing maybe softcarrier was the one -- 
I had already been specifying the io and irq parameters).

I also figured out why it didn't want to work on the second serial port.  I 
already had an entry in modprobe.d which specified the parameters for COM1, 
which (apparently) overrode what I had specified on the modprobe 
command.  (The main reason for the modprobe.d entry was to set the serial 
port properly so that lirc_serial could attach to it).

It now looks like:

alias char-major-61-1 lirc_serial
options lirc_serial irq=4 io=0x3f8 type=0 softcarrier=1 txsense=0
install lirc_serial setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none; /sbin/modprobe 
--ignore-install lirc_serial

which works fine.

Thanks very very much.
