well,
I had my streamzap usb remote working great on my downstairs backend/frontend but I recently set up a frontend upstairs and I wanted to move the remote up there instead. I got a pvr-350 for my backend/frontend downstairs and it's working great (even tv-out and lirc). So I figured it wouldn't be a big deal to add the streamzap remote upstairs, but it's giving me a whole lot of problems. This is what I've done.

downloaded lirc 0.7.0pre7 and patched it with the patch here: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownote ... _id=259129
well, I compiled it and it did give me a couple of errors related to finding the kernel, and a few autoheader warnings... well, I just needed to use and I think it might have still given me the autoheader warnings but other then that it seemed to work fine. Then of course I did a make and a make install, rm -rf /dev/lirc, depmod -a, modprobe lirc_streamzap, mknod /dev/lirc c 61 0, lircd because those are all steps on the lirc streamzap page that I linked to already.

well, I edited /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh and added and I edited /etc/modutils/lirc so it says

and also when I dmesg | grep lirc I get this:

then in the /var/log/lircd I have this:
Dec 29 12:36:37 mythfrontend lircd 0.7.0pre7: lircd(streamzap) ready
Dec 29 12:36:51 mythfrontend lircd 0.7.0pre7: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
Dec 29 12:36:51 mythfrontend lircd 0.7.0pre7: could not open /dev/lirc
Dec 29 12:36:51 mythfrontend lircd 0.7.0pre7: default_init(): No such device
Dec 29 12:36:51 mythfrontend lircd 0.7.0pre7: caught signal

ok... so, I've remade /dev/lirc plenty of times, this is what it looks like:
root@mythfrontend:~ # ls -l /dev/lirc
crwxrwxrwx 1 mythtv mythtv 61, 0 Dec 29 11:25 /dev/lirc

sooo... the biggest problem is that when I do a lircd it gives me no errors, but when I run irw first it does nothing (lircd crashes though) and then if I try it again I get connect: connection refused meaning that lircd is gone... yeah, so that's where I am, and I'm about to kill someone, please help =).
