flarefox Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 (edited) I have tried this several times with different drivers. Here's the general problem: I have the ATI Remote Wonder that comes with the ATI HD-TV Wonder and I'm trying to use it first. I want to make the remote work with my first mythtv card before I do anything else. It's a usb remote so it isn't dependant on the HD-TV Wonder to function. I found lots of documentation on it on the net but nothing works. There's also documentation on getting the ati remote to work, but none of it works for me. I'm using mandriva 06. I have tried compiling lirc with the X10 I & II and also with just X10. X10 doesn't even load but that seems to be what I most likely have. The X10 1 & 2 loads but there is no /dev/lirc, only /dev/lircd= and that doesn't have anything to input from.... What am I doing wrong? Do I need to have some special settings for this to work? I didn't understand why it won't work with the rpm either. It's been in lirc for a while... Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm not very experienced with lirc. lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61 lirc_atiusb: USB remote driver for LIRC v0.5 lirc_atiusb: Paul Miller <pmiller9@users.sourceforge.net> usbcore: registered new driver lirc_atiusb lirc-0.8.0]# mode2 mode2: error opening /dev/lirc mode2: No such device lirc-0.8.0]# I have the hauppauge 250 card installed as well, but I don't have the remote around for that anymore. I'd rather just use the ati remote wonder anyway since it's an RF remote. I can get lirc_dev and lirc_atiusb to load and it sees them and creates the devices but they aren't pointing to anything useable. Is there a way to just force it to use only the device I want? lsmod gives me this: usbcore 108156 10 lirc_atiusb,ati_remote,usb_storage,usbkbd,xpad,usbmouse,usbhid,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd I eventually want to run the HD-TV Wonder and the pvr 250 at the same time since I have heard they work ok together. lsusb gives me nothing. I hope that's enough information to give you guys more to work from than I have. Edited February 16, 2006 by flarefox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=28910 First try this. It's for a different remote but the principle stays the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flarefox Posted February 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 That was the first thing I tried. It never works. It keeps on saying: [root vlc-0.8.1]# /etc/init.d/lircd restart Stopping Linux Infrared Remote Control daemon: [ OK ] Starting Linux Infrared Remote Control daemon: [ OK ] [root vlc-0.8.1]# mode2 mode2: error opening /dev/lirc mode2: No such file or directory The device is there. The /dev/lirc is there, but not. I don't know how to do this if it doesn't even see the device....I mean, it is seen in lsmod and the hardware shows up in dmesg when I do it manually....but nothing happens.
