packard_bell reciever

[email_mick <ema...@bi...>]

Please if someone could reply..

Does anyone know if "lirc-0.6.5-fr3.i386.rpm" includes default support for
the packard bell reciever?  My guess is it was compiled with the -any option
for reciever..

I have installed this, here is my modules.conf (nb **** is just to denote
the interesting bits):
[root@localhost tmp]# less /etc/modules.conf
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias eth0 8139too
alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1
alias sound emu10k1
alias char-major-121 em8300
alias char-major-61  lirc_serial ****
pre-install em8300 modprobe adv717x
options em8300 dicom_fix=1 dicom_control=1 dicom_other_pal=0
options adv717x pixelport_16bit=0 pixelport_other_pal=0
options lirc_serial irq=4 io=0x03e8 ****
post-install em8300 /usr/local/em8300/em8300setup/./em8300setup
#insmod adv717x.o pixelport_16bit=0 pixelport_other_pal=0
#insmod em8300.o dicom_fix=1 dicom_control=1 dicom_other_pal=0
post-install em8300 /usr/local/em8300/em8300setup/./em8300setup

when I try to test using mode2 i get:
"#mode2
This program is only intended for receivers supporting the pulse/space
layer.
Note that this is no error, but this program simply makes no sense for your
receiver."

Is this because the pachard bell reciever can not be tested?

I have rmmod serial, and edited modules.conf with the following settings.. I
get the same error from mode2 eveytime..  Good news is module serial seems
to be loading.. is there anything else I can test to ensure it's accepting
the options??

[root@localhost tmp]# setserial /dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
[root@localhost tmp]# setserial /dev/ttyS1
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
[root@localhost tmp]# setserial /dev/ttyS2
/dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4
[root@localhost tmp]# setserial /dev/ttyS3
/dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3

This remote worked on wondows so i'm assuming the hardware is fine... Here
is lsmod after mode2 is run..

[root@localhost src]# lsmod

Is that the module is should be pulling???

Also, I hace tried to CVS and can get ./setup to run.. but it tells me I
don't have my sources installed.. This is OT: but when I try to "ln -d -F
linux-2.4.20 linux"
I get "ln: creating hard link `linux' to `linux-2.4.20': Operation not
permitted" even as su.. it seems redhat8.0 installation can make the simlink
but i cannot.. as stated already i am _VERY_ new at this.. am i using the
wrong command?

And lastly: if I run ./setup, are these setting saved anywhere so i can pass
them to ./configure manually?  I guess I could pass these settings and pass
the kernal source dir as well... But my attempts so far have been
usussessful..

Any response is welcome...
