lirc installation and configuration

I have followed the wiki about installing and configuring lirc: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lirc

Installed lirc and lirc-utils

pacman -S lirc lirc-utils

Everything went fine, then I tryed to load the module:

modprobe lirc_serial

Everything ok too, then I have copyed the configuration file from lirc's web site to my /etc/lircd.conf.
After that I started the daemon:

/etc/rc.d/lirc start

It works fine, then I tryed to test my receiver with irw and mode2. Both resulted nothing.
I know that my device works because I have used before.

Its a home brew device from lircs web site.

Does anybody knows how to get it working?

Thanks in advance,
Renan

Re: lirc installation and configuration

Welcome to the forum, REN!

Is there any error output, from command line e.g. ?

Thanks for your answer!

There is no output error from any of the commands I have typed.

A few days i had a similiar problem. The xorg-server recognized my remote and overwrite my lirc-settings. Check you Xorg.0.log if there is something about your remote.
