I def have the chip, I'm using the same mobo as the author of the driver, a DG45FC. I do have WEC1022 under lshal udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pnp_WEC1022' > info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer' (string) > info.product = 'PnP Device (WEC1022)' (string) > info.subsystem = 'pnp' (string) > info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pnp_WEC1022' (string) > linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int) > linux.subsystem = 'pnp' (string) > linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pnp0/00:04' (string) > pnp.id = 'WEC1022' (string) > So I got the 2 patches to compile with 2.6.30.5. And the module loads without error from the command line, but gives this in dmesg: Winbond CIR 00:04: disabled > Winbond CIR: probe of 00:04 failed with error -12 > what's weird is if I unload it and load it again I get: Winbond CIR 00:04: activated > Winbond CIR 00:04: disabled > Winbond CIR: probe of 00:04 failed with error -12 > But I still don't have anything actually plugged into the CIR port on the mobo yet (it is enabled in bios though). I have it all wired on a breadboard, just haven't had the time to hook it up and test it. Have looked through the code for that error but haven't found anything in the module itself, might be a pnp error code, haven't made it that far. # modinfo winbond-cir > filename: > /lib/modules/2.6.30-gentoo-r5/kernel/drivers/input/misc/winbond-cir.ko > license: GPL > description: Winbond SuperI/O Consumer IR Driver > author: David Härdeman <da...@ha...> > alias: acpi*:WEC1022:* > alias: pnp:dWEC1022* > depends: led-class > vermagic: 2.6.30-gentoo-r5 SMP preempt mod_unload > parm: protocol:IR protocol to use (0 = RC5, 1 = NEC, 2 = RC6A, > default) (uint) > parm: invert:Invert the signal from the IR receiver (bool) > parm: wake_sc:Scancode of the power-on IR command (uint) > parm: wake_rc6mode:RC6 mode for the power-on command (0 = 0, 6 = > 6A, default) (uint) > Wondering if I can set my own scancode for the power-on command using one of the wake_* params. Would be nice since I don't have MCE remote. I do have a universal/learning remote, so I could set it to whatever works. Currently using codes for the Pioneer VXX2910 DVR, just happened to be a preset in my remote. I just don't know much about IR technology/protocols.
