Look in /home/youre name/.kde/Autostart do you see there Kopete, if yes delete it. .kde is hidden Willie

The problem is solved i put the line ircomm-tty in /etc/modprobe.preload. Now i have ircomm0 - ircomm30 The tty was the clue. Willie

I'll try it when i'm at home, i'm at work now. Let you know if it works Willie

It works for NVRAM But it didn't work for ircomm (see other topic) Willie

Oke i do [willie@localhost ~]$ su Password: [root@localhost willie]# cd /dev [willie@localhost ~]$ su Password: [root@localhost dev]# makedev ircomm [willie@localhost ~]$ su Password: [root@localhost dev]# modprobe ircomm and there is: /dev/ircomm/ircomm0 to ircomm9 I restart my computer, and /dev/ircomm is gone, away Where do i go wrong Willie

No that doesn't work if i do it with nvram (see other topic) it works. /etc/modprobe.preload hw_random intel-agp ircomm nvram The strange thing is that in modprobe.devfs the next lines are present: # Irda devices alias /dev/ircomm* ircomm-tty # include user aliases include /etc/modprobe.conf Willie

I do as root "modprobe nvram", i look in /dev/ and see a device NVRAM. Sofare so good. But when i restart my computer NVRAM is gone in /dev/ Willie

Can i as root just copy ircomm0 just there or do i need a command in the console. Willie

I'm running Mandriva 2005 LE for my IRDA i need ircomm0 to be in /dev but it isn't there. With Mandriva 10.0 is was installed automaticly in /dev If i try to load de module i get this: [willie@localhost ~]$ su Password: [root@localhost willie]# modprobe ircomm0 FATAL: Module ircomm0 not found. [root@localhost willie]# insmod /dev/ircomm0 insmod: can't read '/dev/ircomm0': No such file or directory [root@localhost willie]# What am i doing wrong :unsure: Willie
