Description Thorsten Kukuk 2005-08-21 16:58:06 UTC

I use lirc with the dev/input device and /dev/input/event2, a Cinergy T2 
USB DVB-T receiver is the hardware. 
 
This works fine with SL9.3, but with SL10.0B2 (same config), lircd 
exits in the same moment as vdr accesses it. Adding --nodaemon to lircd 
solves the problem as that it does not crasher (but this does not help 
with debugging).

Does it really crash? If the device doesn't exist yet the initscript starts  
lircd without parameters. Then, if someone (e.g. vdr during bootup) connects 
to lirc it quits. If you start it manually again it works of course as the 
device is now present.

I've submitted a lirc package with modified init script and udev rules that 
actually create /dev/input/ir. Works fine on my laptop with cinergyT2 as well 
as AverTV.
