has anybody got this working? i have the latest lirc running and have created /etc/lircd.conf file using the one for RM-1000 on the website but don't know what else to do for the control to actually work. I've also got the xmms plugin and enabled it but nothing happens if i try the remote with that either (and yes the red light on my audigy2 flashes when i press any of the remote buttons)

thanks in advance

Tom

Tom,

I have the very same issue. I am using MEPIS linux (based on Debian unstable) and I managed to build the module and install it. YET, when I run "mode2" command as root, I get absolutely nothing :-(

do you have the module loaded? ie. what does 'lsmod | grep -i lirc' return?
does the lircd daemon run without any errors? ie. what does 'ps -aux | grep -i lirc' return?

Cheers,
Thas

Here are some more steps that I attempted. Could you please let me know if they work for you?

- First of all, CIMR100 does not appear to require a special kernel module. You just need the lircd daemon and it communicates via standard RS232 (I think).
- Sym link the serial device to which the IR receiver is connected to /dev/lirc: ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/lirc
- Copy the appropriate lircd.conf to /etc/lircd.conf
- run the command: setserial /dev/ttyS0
- you should get something like: /dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
- now run lircd pointing it directly to the serial device:
lircd -d /dev/ttyS0

NOTE: I'm assuming that the creative IR receiver is connected to COM1 (/dev/ttyS0)

Came across above pointers at : http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-u...ne/008232.html

Please let me know if they work for you. I have had no luck (yet!).

i dont get any output with the lsmod command. Im totally stumped for getting it working. the ir reciever is part of my audigy2 extigy box so what device would it be?

ok i originally just gave up on this but have now got more time so am playing again

the latest lirc is installed and the RM1000 config is in /etc/lircd.conf
the IR port itself is part of the Audigy2 Platinum Extigy Box, what is the device name for this or should it work with /dev/ttyS0?
running mode2 gives:

This program is only intended for receivers supporting the pulse/space layer.
Note that this is no error, but this program simply makes no sense for your
receiver.
In order to test your setup run lircd with the --nodaemon option and
then check if the remote works with the irw tool.

not sure what to do here but ran lircd --nodaemon and it just sits waiting for another input (i assume) saying:

lircd 0.7.0: lircd(dsp) ready


im thinkin that using the remote now should bring the code up of what was pressed but no joy, despite the red light on the extigy flashing when i press a button.

I think the problem is just gettin the device right or is there something else ive missed?
