Hello, I have a usb-dongled infra red remote, manufactured by Technotrend. Googling the product/vendor id got me to the ttusbir lirc driver. [1] I built the latest lirc release (0.8.4a) and loaded the kernel modules lirc_dev & lirc_ttusbir. The device is recognized by the driver: [ 1170.796310] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61 [ 1170.808215] lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 0 [ 1170.808242] usbcore: registered new interface driver TTUSBIR When i do a "cat /dev/lirc0" and press some buttons on the remote, there's definately activity. But when i try to monitor it by mode2, xmode2 or irw + licd, I get following errors: root@myhost # mode2 -d /dev/lirc0=20 mode2: could not get hardware features mode2: this device driver does not support the new LIRC interface mode2: make sure you use a current version of the driver root@myhost # lircd -n -d /dev/lirc0=20 lircd: could not open config file '/etc/lircd.conf' lircd: No such file or directory lircd: lircd(default) ready lircd: accepted new client on /dev/lircd <-- this is where I start irw lircd: could not get hardware features lircd: this device driver does not support the new LIRC interface lircd: make sure you use a current version of the driver lircd: WARNING: Failed to initialize hardware Both, kernelmodules _and_ lirc userland are from release 0.8.4a, I checked that! My kernel is the current debian testing default kernel: 2.6.26-1-amd64 So my question is: Am I doing something wrong? Or is the driver outdated?
