Hello!

I have run Mythbuntu 7.10 for about a year but never gotten my remote, nor my VFD on my Silverstone LC16MR to work even after a lot of forum reading and testing. The devices didn't even show up under /dev. So I finally gave up and used a wireless keyboard.

When Mythbuntu 8.10 came out I thought it was time to try again so I installed it on a parallel disk. Though, same problem occurred - no devices under /dev. I started to read the forums again and now I found out what could be the problem. The usbhid "steals" the device and loads its driver which makes Ubuntu think it's a keyboard or mouse.

Therefore I followed a post and forced usbhid to not load the driver. Success! The devices (lirc0, lirc1, lcd0 and lcd1) showed up under /dev and I could load lirc according to the posts. But! I only got the remote to work halfway. Play, pause and so on worked but not the directional buttons, i.e. lirc1 worked but not lirc0. Therefore I thought I should start from scratch and do it properly.

I reinstalled 8.10, added all official patches and mainly followed this post (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/SilverstoneTek_LC16M) but also this (http://dolot.kipdola.com/index.php?title=Install_Thermaltake_LIRC) and this post (http://mythtvblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/getting-imon-0038-lcd-working-with-lirc.html) to figure out which packages to install to be able to compile lirc. But I still can't get it to work. I must do something wrong when compiling lirc. Therefore I thought I should post here and hope that some friendly fellow Myth user with greater knowledge than myself can assist as I feel I'm close to the solution now that usbhid doesn't steal the device. Please, bare with me!

I did the following:

mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

T: Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=02 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=1.5 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=15c2 ProdID=0036 Rev= 0.01
C:* #Ifs= 2 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=100mA
I:* If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=00 Prot=02 Driver=usbhid
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 8 Ivl=10ms
I:* If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=usbhid
E: Ad=82(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 8 Ivl=10ms

which shows that usbhid loads the driver. I created /etc/modprobe.d/usbhid and added:

options usbhid quirks=0x15c2:0x0036:0x0004

to stop usbhid from doing this. I ran below to apply the changes:

depmod -ae
update-initramfs -u

Uninstalled the default lirc package:

sudo apt-get remove lirc

Installed packages needed (from what I could read in the posts) to compile lirc:

apt-get install cvs
apt-get build-dep lirc
apt-get install libtool automake1.9 autoconf
apt-get install cvs build-essential automake
apt-get install bzr

Checked out latest lirc cvs:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/lirc login
cvs -z8 -d:pserver:anonymous@lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/lirc co lirc

In the lirc folder I ran ./autogen.sh which gave a couple of warnings which I'm not sure are critical:

libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.ac and
libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree.
libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am.

and then ./setup.sh

Driver Configuration > USB Devices > Soundgraph iMON PAD IR/VFD
Save configuration & run configure

which gave ok output except below which I'm not sure is critical either.

checking for a sed that does not truncate output... ./configure: line 4116: echo: write error: Broken pipe
/bin/sed

Then ran make which gave some error and warnings (last portion of the output):

Libraries have been installed in:
/usr/local/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

lirc_imon

reboot

Unfortunately nothing seems to work:

but at least usbhid doesn't load it's driver for the remote/VFD:

I would be very greateful if someone had an idea what I'm doing wrong. If there is any other output that can help understanding my problem please let me know. I really would like to start using the remote and VFD to boost the WAF even more! :)

I hope sameone can help us.

I can glady tell you that I now got everything working! :D The process described above is totally right. The problem was that the CVS version I was using contained a bug.

Last Friday night I checked out a new version and compiled. Success! Both lirc0 and lirc1 buttons work. I thereafter installed the LCDProc package and changed to imon drivers in the config file. This made the display work as well.

Before you begin installing the CVS version, be sure to uninstall the lirc package first.

I got it to work downloading only the lirc_imon.c from the drivers folder in Lirc CVS and then using the dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source.
After using the different way to start lirc decribed in one the links above I'm now using the same device for a couple of months now :)

Hello guys,

I'm having trouble with this, regardless of how many times I reload the cvs lirc. I have usbhid leaving the iMON alone now, and dmesg gives me similar output to that in the first post.

If I do a modprobe I get..

FATAL: Error inserting lirc_imon (/lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_imon/lirc_imon.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

I'm using ubuntu 8.10 with the ID15c2:0036 device in a Silverstone LC16m case. I've been banging away at this all day, its 47 Degress C outside and I think I've fried my brain. Any help would be most welcome.

I have lirc from CVS running with this device too for some time, but I'm experience a weird problem. All key presses coming through lirc0, i.e. the black buttons on the PAD, are sent twice. Does anybody else see this or maybe even have a workaround for it?

I filed a bug report for it a few days ago: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2529828&group_id=5444&atid=105444
Are you starting lirc like below?

/usr/local/sbin/lircd --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc0 --pidfile=/var/run/lirc0.pid --listen=8765
/usr/local/sbin/lircd --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc1 --pidfile=/var/run/lirc1.pid --output=/dev/lircd --connect=localhost:8765

Are you starting lirc like below?

Basically yes, as you can see from the bug report:

/usr/sbin/lircd --device=/dev/lirc1 --connect=localhost 8765 --output=/dev/lircd --connect=localhost 8765 --pidfile=/var/run/lircd1.pid

Well... Now I got problems with the modules again. I got above to work on a test installation with kernel 2.6.27-9-generic. But by the time I reinstalled my original installation a new kernel, 2.6.27-11-generic, had been released.

So I've used the same lirc source, compiled new modules and copied lirc_dev.ko and lirc_imon.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_imon. But they won't load at boot! It seems that some other version of these modules are loaded cause when I rmmod them I then can lsmod the modules and get:

[ 909.870297] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61
[ 924.049128] lirc_imon: Driver for Soundgraph iMON MultiMedia IR/VFD, v0.5

[ 924.316045] lirc_imon: IR port opened
[ 924.528040] lirc_imon: IR port opened

I have tried to figure out where Ubuntu now looks for the modules but no luck. Has something changed between sources regarding how modules are loaded? Seems strange I think...

When I manually have loaded the modules I can get the VFD to work, though I no longer can start lirc. It gives me:

lircd: error parsing child file value defined at line 13:
lircd: invalid quoting
lircd: reading of file '/etc/lircd.conf' failed
lircd: reading of config file failed

Line 13 is the one that says "include /usr/share/lirc/remotes/imon/lircd.conf.imon-pad" and that file is sure there and I have not messed with it.

February 3rd, 2009, 08:10 PM

So I've used the same lirc source, compiled new modules and copied lirc_dev.ko and lirc_imon.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_imon. But they won't load at boot! It seems that some other version of these modules are loaded cause when I rmmod them I then can lsmod the modules and get:

The modules might be in /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/updates/dkms/ after the kernel update.

Kalibur, I can't see any difference between the CVS lines you mention and the ones in my post?

Sorry seems there is no difference I was using copy and paste so maybe I mistakenly miscopied your cvs. On what Ubuntu version architecture and kernel did you get this running because I have the 15c9:0038 I have been through gusty to jaunty 64bits and not even a flicker on the LCD screen am now installing win xp just to make sure the hardware works :(. Am not to bothered about the remote I have a spare usb mce receiver should that become hard.:(

I'm running 32 bit Mythbuntu 8.10 with kernel 2.6.27-11-generic. I got above to work on 2.6.27-09-generic on a parallel disk why I'm a bit confused right now.

I've listed all of the lirc_dev.ko and lirc_imon.ko on my system:

$ locate lirc_dev.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_imon/lirc_dev.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_imon/new/lirc_dev.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/misc/lirc_dev.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.ko
/usr/src/lirc/drivers/lirc_dev/.lirc_dev.ko.cmd
/usr/src/lirc/drivers/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.ko

$ locate lirc_imon.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_imon/lirc_imon.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_imon/new/lirc_imon.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_imon/old/lirc_imon.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/misc/lirc_imon.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_imon/lirc_imon.ko
/usr/src/lirc/drivers/lirc_imon/.lirc_imon.ko.cmd
/usr/src/lirc/drivers/lirc_imon/lirc_imon.ko

Two of these modules are loading but not the "correct" ones which should be the ones located in /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_imon/. I know it's not the correct ones as no devices show up under /dev.

$lsmod |grep lirc
lirc_imon 23052 0
lirc_dev 20020 1 lirc_imon
usbcore 149360 7 lirc_imon,usb_storage,libusual,usbhid,ehci_hcd,ohc i_hcd

$dmesg |grep lirc
[ 12.870319] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61

[ 12.892019] lirc_imon: Venky Raju <dev@venky.ws>
[ 12.892051] usbcore: registered new interface driver lirc_imon

If I unload them and load the modules in /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_imon/ manually the devices show up under /dev. Though, lirc won't load but's giving me below:

Soundgraph iMON PAD IR/VFD(LCD) with MultiDirectionPad remote 15c2:0038

So After reaching deep in my box rubbish I found an old hdd and the xp cdrom. After several encounter with the blue screen of death I managed to install xp after after a sweet full year xp independence, bare with me I had to be sure the hardware was not the problem. Installed Imedion HD software, imon lcd and the imod remote with the pad mouse control thing.
I can now rule the hardware fault out in fact am back in intrepid 64bt right now and the lcd screen is displaying the time PM 0699 or is it PM 0644 :P.
So why then is it working after an xp driver install! I think the screen needing some sort of firmware to be installed to get its heart beating.
To everyone who got their LCD VFD screens to display something can you confirm having installed it in MS environment at least once?
Also maybe some sort of driver wrapper is way to go with the remote pad?

Ok now I will attempt to get in running in Ubuntu.

So after a lot of testing back and forth the mystery is solved once again. Actually it was a couple of things that created the problems.

Lirc_imon.ko was loaded from /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_imon/old/ where I had backed up an old version of the file. I deleted this folder and hoped that the module in /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_imon/ would load, but no. So I recreated the folder "old" and put the correct file in there. I guess there's an explanation why Ubuntu is looking in that folder but I have no clue so far.

What comes to lirc_dev.ko it loads from /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_dev/.

The third and final fix was in the /cat/lircd.conf which said

include /usr/share/lirc/remotes/imon/lircd.conf.imon-pad

but what it should say was

include "/usr/share/lirc/remotes/imon/lircd.conf.imon-pad"

I also replaced the file above with /usr/src/lirc/remotes/imon/lircd.conf.imon-pad which should be more recent.

Remote and display works like a charm now! I've fixed a startup script in /etc/init.d which loads both lirc commands at startup.

Would you mind telling me how to make sure that's happening? I'm getting kind of lost at this point.
I would start with finding out where the modules loading at boot are located (see my prev post/s above). When neither lirc_dev nor lirc_imon are loaded automatically you can insmod your compiled modules manually and check that they are ok.

I have now finally managed to get all devices working. In my previous attempt I used LIRC 0.8.4a from Ubuntu, and the kernel modules from 2.6.28-11-generic. But now I got LIRC from CVS, compiled, and inserted modules in the right place, and things loaded nicely.

Tip: To check what loads:

# strace modprobe lirc_imon 2>&1 | grep /lib/modules
open("/lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/modules.dep.bin", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.ko", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_imon/lirc_imon.ko", O_RDONLY) = 3

(These are now symlinks into /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/misc/)

Now everything is in place:

# ls -l /dev/lirc*
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 61, 0 2009-03-25 18:21 /dev/lirc
crw-rw---- 1 root root 61, 0 2009-03-25 18:28 /dev/lirc0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 61, 1 2009-03-25 18:28 /dev/lirc1
srw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2009-03-25 18:40 /dev/lircd
prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2009-03-25 18:21 /dev/lircm

I started mode2, and got some presses, but then things hung, and gave no more output.

root@kuken:/usr/local/src/lirc# mode2 --raw
code: 0x0200001e00000000
code: 0x0200000000000000

code: 0x0200000000000000
^C
root@kuken:/usr/local/src/lirc# mode2 --raw
^C

I have tried removing and re-inserting the kernel modules, rebooting, and even booting windows to check that the remote still worked, but to no avail. I get nothing more from mode2.

Any ideas?

BTW: Is there a simple test program to get key presses from lircd, not directly from /dev/lirc, to test that lircd actually works?

I have been working on this subject now for several weeks. Unfortunately little result for so many hours. Time to call for some help and sign up at the ubuntu forum.
First: I am running on a 2.6.27-9-generic kernel, ubuntu intrepid.
I am already succesfully running mythtv (backend and frontend on one machine) together with xbmc so I am able to use the streaming script XOTG. I managed to set up lirc for my PVR350 Hauppauge remote. (not really much to it, comes standard out of the box). Next step is to trying to get a 15c2:0038 IR/LCD device working in my Zalman 160 pluse case. (I know, this thread is about the IR/VFD) (as suggested in some posts about hardware failure, my LCD does work, as I have seen it working on a windows xp installation)

I read a lot on this subject, the most helpfull sources beeing:
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1041258.html
http://codeka.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=57&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=10

http://codeka.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&p=529
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/306346

Status thusfar:

From the mythtvblogspot forum I tried to follow the mentioned procedure. Unfortunately the suggested download and build of http://ronfrazier.net/mythtv/downloads/lirc-cvs.tar.gzip does not work. It gives compilation errors indicating a kernel configuration problem, which I understood has nothing to do with the kernel, but more the source code you are trying to compile.
On https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/306346 I found some more info on trying to build lirc. I managed to download the lirc sources from Kenny Millingtons’s PPA. I replaced the lirc_imon.c file and I am able to do a dkms build of lirc without problems. After modprobing: /dev/lirc0, /dev/lirc1, dev/lcd0 and /dev/lcd1 are visible (huray!)
But:
When I do perl -e 'print pack "H*", "80000000091e0088"' > /dev/lcd0 (after giving permissions to the device, sudo chmod 777 /dev/lcd0) nothing happens. :( . No error, but nothing on the display either.
When I look at dmesg |grep lirc I see it is opening and closing the lcd device. The driver however is mentioning IR/VFD. My thought is that something still went wrong with loading the driver.
I did try moving around the *.ko files to different locations as mentioned on several of the above posts.

As I understand it the .ko files are the actual drivers. By modprobe –r <drivername> you can unload the driver. With modprobe <drivername> you can load it. Then the point is: from what location does the kernel load the driver (search the system for possible locations). Could it be as easy as obtaining a lirc_imon.ko file from someone who has a similar setup and trying to start that driver? (guess not, bu hey I am learning)

So as a summary, I am looking for the following answers:
1.) What should the output be of dmesg |grep lirc on a working system, that is an imon 15c2:0038 device.
2.) What does it mean if perl -e 'print pack "H*", "80000000091e0088"' > /dev/lcd0 does not give any output whatsoever.
3.) Is it possible to load any compiled .ko file from a similar system

Really hope someone is out there with some answers or directions as I desperately need to boost the WAF! :) So help is appreciated very much!

Hi fmbrul

I have got this working on my mythbuntu 8.10 for a long time now..
you can have a look at this, hope it helps
http://sites.google.com/site/it1stop/Home/linux/mythbuntu---linuxmce/lirc-remote
There is two pages.. one for the remote and one for the LCD..

I am now looking to see if I can get it working on Mythbuntu 9.04. Just started today so have not got any where yet..
But I will update my website with my results..

Chris
Now it's even easier, still not out-of-the-box but still doable:
apt-get install lirc-modules-source with requisites,

download this lirc_imon.c (http://lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/lirc/lirc/drivers/lirc_imon/lirc_imon.c?revision=1.33) which is the 1.33 of the imon-driver and place it in /usr/src/lirc-0.8.4a/driver/lirc_imon instead of the original one.

Then try sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source, it will rebuild the modules. After that stop lircd and lcdproc(/etinit.d/lirc[LCDd] stop) and sudo rmmod lirc_imon lirc_dev, reload module with sudo modprobe lirc_imon. Check in dmesg if the version number is 0.5.

*
Sometimes you get an error about dkms not being able to build the driver, then you need to perform these actions and try again:
sudo dkms remove -m lirc -v 0.8.4a --all # removes lirc from dkms
sudo dkms add -m lirc -v 0.8.4a # adds lirc to dkms
sudo dkms build --verbose -m lirc -v 0.8.4a # does a build of modules, not sure if actually required.
*
If your module is loaded you can then use these lirc-files to configure your lirc-client:
http://www.avenard.org/mythtv/lirc-conf.tar.gz
Then you should be able to start your lirc with that, if lirc complains about modules, you could add the same modulenames to the transmitter-part of hardware.conf, that solved an error for me.
Another reboot helped here as well.

Hi,

Thanks for the response, that site refers to the 0.8.3 lirc version. At this moment I have the source of 0.8.4a. Can you confirm this will work on 8.10, kernel 2.6.27?

Since I had trouble installing and compiling I decided to install the 'normal' lirc again from synaptic. This won't run however, not until I manualy remove the 'compiled' driver.
Anyone has a brief explanation on how these things work? Where does ubuntu put these compiled files, how do I tell the operating system to use which drivers on startup etc.? Any link to a website would be helpfull.

Thanks,

joshoekstra

May 7th, 2009, 08:06 PM

I had it working under intrepid with the 0.8.3 version of lirc with the 1.32 driver from lirc CVS, this was with 2.6.27.nn and lirc-modules-source. After upgrade tot jaunty I had to get a newer version and 1.33 seems to work for me now again using lirc-modules source and lirc 0.8.4a with 2.6.28.nn as kernel.
So actually the only thing that changed was the version of lirc, driver and kernel, not the way using lirc-modules-source.

Have been using Soundgraph imon device (VFD) which came alone with SilverStone LC16M. Got LIRC to work in straight steps as mentioned in the first post here.

Have been having trouble with corrupt display of VFD until I added two lines to lirc_imon.c file.

Download lirc CVS and edit the file lirc/drivers/lirc_imon/lirc_imon.c

Locate send_packet section and add two lines as below just above return retval

kfree(control_req);

set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); #<-- Line Added
schedule_timeout(50); #<-- Line Added
return retval;
}

/**
* Sends an associate packet to the iMON 2.4G.

Configure, Make and Make install.

After this the VFD started working properly.

Thanks to "http://codeka.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=35&start=10#p863" for providing a direction here.

Thanks to everyone here, I've now gotten the VFD on my 0036 to work with lcdproc.

The IR remains a problem. In /dev I have lirc0, lirc1 and lircd. To see if the remote works, I use a command like 'mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 --raw'. This mostly does not react to the remote, but on some occasions I am able to get some key presses through (perhaps 4-5 presses), and then it just stops reacting again. I check if the codes correspond to the keys I pressed, and they do. But I also get some codes with lots of zeroes in them, mostly after I have gotten a legitimate keypress through. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Excuse my ignorance im a noob to linux.
I have installed Myhtbuntu 9.04 I have IR/VD 15c2:0036.
I choose soundgraph Imon PAD IR/VFD for my remote during install.
I have a fresh install of mythbuntu. no extra programs installed yet

Now it's even easier, still not out-of-the-box but still doable:
apt-get install lirc-modules-source with requisites,

with requisites?

I did:
apt-get install lirc-modules-source
i hope that will include requeistes?

download this lirc_imon.c (http://lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/lirc/lirc/drivers/lirc_imon/lirc_imon.c?revision=1.33) which is the 1.33 of the imon-driver and place it in /usr/src/lirc-0.8.4a/driver/lirc_imon instead of the original one.

done!
sudo cp lirc_imon.c /usr/src/lirc-0.8.4a/driver/lirc_imon

Then try sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source, it will rebuild the modules.

easy enough?
dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source
done!

After that stop lircd and lcdproc(/etinit.d/lirc[LCDd] stop)

a bit confused?
michael@MediaPC:/usr/src/lirc-0.8.4a/drivers/lirc_imon$ sudo lircd stop
lircd: there seems to already be a lircd process with pid 2840
lircd: otherwise delete stale lockfile /var/run/lircd.pid

deleted that file..
I dont have lcdproc installed.. dont care about the VFD.. let me know if this is essential?

and sudo rmmod lirc_imon lirc_dev,

michael@MediaPC:/var/run$ sudo rmmod lirc_imon lirc_dev

(just went to next line. no response)

reload module with sudo modprobe lirc_imon. Check in dmesg if the version number is 0.5.

michael@MediaPC:/var/run$ sudo modprobe lirc_imon
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat, it will be ignored in a future release.
michael@MediaPC:/var/run$

??

I now seem to have LCD0 LCD1 LIRC0 LIRC1 in my /dev folder so this is good news.
I untared the conf files and copied them to the /etc/init.d and /etc/lirc

Still get no response from my remote in mythtv tho? not sure where to go from here?
i should mention i dont have the original remote. i use a logitech unversal remote. i have loaded antec fusion 480 remote into it tho.. I also loaded mce remote just to test..
Any help is much appreciated!

You seem to be close, try if you can run irw and then press all the buttons you can. If your remote is properly configured, it should show keypresses.
But as I understand it, this soundgraph module doesn't support other remotes but if it does with the logitech I'd get one as well.

Hello,

I have a new issue to submit to you :D

I just download mythbuntu and bought a LC16M case with the famous 15c2:0036 IR/VFD device. (I say famous because I read somuch forum about it that I am think that internet is only talking about it ;) I follow the goog tutorial on http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/SilverstoneTek_LC16M and had my VFD full working! but I still have some trouble with the remote! My remote is only a mouse: The pad, right click and left click is working but nothing about other button! I only have /dev/lirc0 and not lirc1????????????? when I run cat /dev/lirc0 | xdd I got all button and all number are the same as the lirc.conf. When I am using mode2 on /dev/lirc0 it's working but not with irw (conexion refused)????

any idea? Thanks
