[SOLVED] LIRC not working

I had LIRC working super before, but this is a new install of Arch and am trying to get it going again. Whenever I start the /etc/rc.d/lircd daemon, it gets killed if I run irw or irexec, both giving "connection refused" errors when run. Here's some dmesg output:

lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61 
lirc_serial: port 03f8 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
sysfs: duplicate filename 'lirc_serial.0' can not be created

I'm using a PVR-150mce USB IR remote. I have a working /etc/lircd.conf and ~/.lircrc from before. Just can't get it to go.

Re: [SOLVED] LIRC not working

Got it working, after scouring the net internets I found a post that indicated the following module needs to be loaded:

modprobe lirc_mceusb2

Re: [SOLVED] LIRC not working

I have the same problem.

Unfortunately it's not solved for me since I *have* a serial receiver.

Any clues?
