LIRC is busted... everything looks perfectly nominal, but it doesn't work. Does anybody have any insight on this one?

Code:
[root@mythbox dev]# mode2
mode2: error opening /dev/lirc
mode2: No such device


Code:
[root@mythbox dev]# ls -alh lirc*
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 61, 0 2004-11-26 13:10 lirc
srw-rw-rw-  1 root root     0 2004-11-26 13:06 lircd
prw-rw-rw-  1 root root     0 2004-11-26 12:49 lircm


Code:
[root@mythbox dev]# lsmod | grep lirc
lirc_atiusb            10828  0
lirc_dev               11340  1 lirc_atiusb


Code:
[root@mythbox dev]# dmesg | grep lirc
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61
lirc_atiusb: USB remote driver for LIRC v0.4
lirc_atiusb: Paul Miller <pmiller9@users.sourceforge.net>
usbcore: registered new driver lirc_atiusb

well it is saying that lirc0 does not exist, and from your post lirc0 does not exist. maybe you should try /dev/lirc.

Excuse my carelessness, I have tried creating both devices to no avail. I made a typo.

It miraculously worked twice, and I have no idea why.
