[mythtvnz] Serial IR reciever Skystar 2 - lirc compatable

[Phil Bertram]

Hi all,

I have  just purchased a Skystar 2 DVB-S card.
The card comes with a remote and serial IR reciever.

The remote has a valid lircd.conf but I can not seem to get lirc working. I'm 
sure I have set all the permissions correctly. Following the instructions in 
the docs carefully.
I have also compiled and tried many the other drivers that talk directly 
to /dev/ttyS0 with no luck.

$ irw
Jun 15 11:32:28 pb lircd: lircd(serial) ready
Jun 15 11:32:32 pb lircd: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
Jun 15 11:32:32 pb lircd: could not open /dev/lirc
Jun 15 11:32:32 pb lircd: default_init(): No such device
Jun 15 11:32:32 pb lircd: caught signal


Has anyone on the list got this reciever working with lirc ?
Or, are my problems related to simple lack of support for this device in lirc.
