problems with lirc

Hi.

In my computer is a WinFast PVR2000 tv tuner. TV works without problems but lirc don't.

I did it like decripted in the wiki:

# dmesg | grep lirc
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61 
lirc_serial: port 02f8 already in use
lirc_serial: use 'setserial /dev/ttySX uart none'
lirc_serial: or compile the serial port driver as module and
lirc_serial: make sure this module is loaded first
# cat /etc/modprobe.conf 
options lirc_serial irq=3 io=0x2f8
# setserial /dev/ttySx uart none
# modprobe lirc_serial

but if I load the module dmesg return an error:

kobject_add failed for lirc_serial.0 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.
 [<c023b585>] kobject_shadow_add+0x115/0x1a0
 [<c023b9b7>] kobject_set_name+0x37/0xc0
 [<c02a01fd>] device_add+0xad/0x510
 [<c02a3db9>] platform_device_add+0xf9/0x150
 [<f99b8032>] init_module+0x32/0x2ac [lirc_serial]
 [<c014f406>] sys_init_module+0x126/0x18b0
 [<c035fb40>] schedule+0x1e0/0x600
 [<c02846d6>] tty_ldisc_deref+0x46/0x70
 [<c0104482>] sysenter_past_esp+0x6b/0xa1
 =======================

and only lirc_dev is loaded:

# lsmod | grep lirc
lirc_dev               12420  0

Google also has no solution...
Anybody an idea? Or an alternative way for remote control?

Thanks Andreas

Re: problems with lirc

Nobody an idea? Is it possible it works with an other tv tuner?
Is there anywhere a list of working tv tuners?

Re: problems with lirc

Ok, I don't know why but now lirc_serial loads without any problem. But irw don't get any data...
I have an old remote control which is plugged over USB. Does this also run with lirc?
