Hiya folks,

I'm trying hard to get lirc up and running with my spanking new SilverstoneTek 11M box (www.silverstonetek.com/products-lc11m.htm). I've followed the steps in http://venky.ws/forums/viewtopic.php?t=279 quite closely, everything downloaded, got setup and compiled rather nicely, thank you. (I'm running Dapper - the manual is for Edgy)

Then I did

misha@salemcenter:~/lirc-0.8.0/lirc$ ls -l /dev/l*
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 61, 0 2007-01-08 21:36 /dev/lirc
prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2007-01-08 21:36 /dev/lircd
prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2007-01-08 21:36 /dev/lircm
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 2007-01-09 07:37 /dev/log
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 2007-01-08 21:17 /dev/lp0
crw------- 1 root root 109, 0 2007-01-08 21:20 /dev/lvm

/dev/loop:
total 0
brw------- 1 root root 7, 0 2006-08-06 02:45 0

which looks quite fine, I think. Then it was time for

sudo modprobe lirc_dev
sudo modprobe lirc_imon

followed by

misha@salemcenter:~/lirc-0.8.0/lirc$ lsmod | grep lirc
lirc_imon 13572 0
lirc_dev 14804 1 lirc_imon
usbcore 130820 5 lirc_imon,usb_storage,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd

and I think it looks fine. But, when I'm about to testdrive the IR I do

misha@salemcenter:~/lirc-0.8.0/lirc$ mode2
mode2: error opening /dev/lirc
mode2: No such device

and that's not the way it should be, eh? If I do 'sudo fuser /dev/lirc' I get a blank output.

I've done lots of reading, but haven't found any helpful tricks or tips. Please, help me out here. I'd ask in the venky-forum but the administrator hasn't acknowledged my registration (and it's a week since I filed it).

Thx in advance
