I am fairly new to Linux however I have managed to get an almost fully working system with Knoppmyth R5A16, which appears to have LIRC included, I have Kworld DVB-t card and I have located the correct lircd.conf file and puyt it in /etc/lirc/ folder. I then tried /etc/init.d/lirc restart and its complains it did not have the correct kernel modules as below:-

Quote:
Stopping lirc daemon: lircmd lircd.
#####################################################
## I couldn't load the required kernel modules ##
## You should install lirc-modules-source to build ##
## kernel support for your hardware. ##
#####################################################
## If this message is not appropriate you may set ##
## LOAD_MODULES=false in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf ##
#####################################################
Starting lirc daemon:.



My hardware.conf file is as follows :-


Quote:
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
#START_LIRCMD=false

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES=true

# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER="default"
# If DEVICE is set to /dev/lirc and devfs is in use /dev/lirc/0 will be
# automatically used instead
DEVICE="/dev/lirc"
MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_gpio"

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCD_CONF="leadtek/lircd.conf.RM-0010"
LIRCMD_CONF="leadtek/lircmd.conf.RM-0010"


When I tried to modprobe the modules I get the following :_


Quote:
modprobe lirc_dev
modprobe lirc_gpio
FATAL: Error inserting lirc_gpio (/lib/modules/2.6.11.9-chw-2-kraxel1/misc/lirc_gpio.ko): Invalid request code


The lirc_gpio.ko file does exist.

Any help on this would be much appreciated, the remote control is the last thing I need to get working on my mythbox.

As I have the lircd.conf file for my remote is that all I need or do I need modules specific to the hardware?

Thanks in advance
Paul

you need to reconfigure lirc to use the new module. R5A16 includes a script to do that for you, lirc-reconfig.sh

I tried that, slected Kworld card from the list and it created the hard.conf file below, I added lirc_dev and lirc_gpio to /etc/modules but only lirc_dev is loaded, when I try modprobe I get the same error. Do I have to remake the kernel? I have been assuming that it would already contain all that lirc would need but I might be wrong.

Thanks for the assistance.

well if for some odd reason your install does not have the lirc_gpio module then you will have to recompile lirc from scratch with that module. I know for a fact that R5A16 is supposed to have it, as I use it with a Leadtek 2000 card and all I had to do was run that reconfigure script and find an appropriate config file.
