Hello again, I am using the serial remote control receiver from a Pinnacle PCTV card with LIRC port on a 4.9-STABLE box. The required 'pinsys' driver is installed with the port. I did find an interesting quirk. The --driver=pinsys option must be the first option specified to any of the programs from the port that interact with the IR receiver. Example: irrecord --driver=pinsys --device=/dev/cuaa0 remote.conf Other considerations from my notes include: Ensure that the user who will be running lircd is in the "dialer" group, which is the group that has read/write permissions to the /dev/cuaax ports. Create the /var/lock directory and ensure that the user who will be running the lirc programs has write permissions to it. Ensure that the user who will be running lircd can write the file /var/run/lircd.pid, /var/log/lircd, and create the /dev/lircd socket. Hope this helps. ~brian On Wednesday 11 February 2004 12:02 pm, Torfinn Ingolfsen wrote: > On Tue, 10 Feb 2004 19:22:45 +0100 > > Torfinn Ingolfsen <torfinn.ingolfsen@broadpark.no> wrote: > > Today I got the remote control tthat belongs to the Pinnacle WinTV > > card I bought from a friend. > > Correction: the card is a Pinnacle PCTV pro card. > (Note to self: don't post to mailing lists when tired) > > I was confusing it with a Hauppauge WinTV card which I also have. > > Any hints appreciated.
