[mythtvnz] lirc not working on suse 10.3

[Johan Schuld]

Hi All,

I know lirc has been discussed a million times by now, but I can't find much
information about the problem i'm having now. I'm running suse 10.3 and have
the option of using a serial device (which I've previously had running under
10.2), or a Nova-S 500 which I have recently installed.

I have a slight preference for the serial option as I'm note dependent on a
capture card.

So I've been trying to get anything out of mode2, irw or irrecord but it
just does not seem to work at all. First of all, when I start the lirc
daemon it binds to /dev/input/ir, which is a bit unexpected, as I expect
/dev/lirc ? But might be a new in 10.3 thing I thought so I just kept on
trying

No luck at all, so I looked at /var/log messages and this is what came up.
the lirc_serial module did not actually load, but I have not managed to get
any more info on the fault. Has anyone seen this before?

Any pointers would be welcome. I might just need to revert to lirc_i2c, any
thoughts?

Cheers
