Description
When the CD boots, it seems to detect that there is a DVICO remote connected to the system, but the remote doesnt work when it gets to the menus. lircd is running with the following arguments:
lircd -d /dev/lirc0
Normally for the DVICO remote (on R5.5) it runs as follows:
lircd -d /dev/usb/hiddev0 --driver=dvico
If I stop lircd and run lircd as above, irw can detect the dvico remote key presses.
History

The following messages appear in the console during startup:
Scanning for usb receiver/remote
found dvico
cp: cannot stat `lircrc*': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access `/etc/lircrc': No such file or directory

Dvico remote is now a special case and should now start with hiddev0 as the device.
Also cleaned up console error messages as reported.

It now (.06) starts as "lircd -d /dev/usb/hiddev0" but it still does not work. The lircd command also needs --driver=dvico so that it looks like this:
/usr/sbin/lircd -d /dev/usb/hiddev0 --driver=dvico
Note that there are two dashes before the driver=dvico arg, only one seems to show up in flyspray though.
I have also attached a preview image for the dvico remote.
I have also attached a lircrc file for the remote, because it wont work in the installer without it!

updated lirc to use --driver=dvico. Will add the new lircrc and picture later.

Funny, my Fusion look like the attached.
Also, because of other USB devices sometime the remote won't be hiddev0 so I added the attached dvicoIR.rules file to /etc/udev/rules.d/ and changed the line in /etc/sv/lircd/run that launches lircd to /dev/usb/dvicoIR.

Yeah. There are two versions. If you look at the lircd.conf, you will see two separate remote definitions. The picture I posted was the original. The picture you showed is the more recent model.

I know the rules file I posted will work with the model I have. Can you test it to make sure it works with the original version?

Britney: That rule works fine for my original style dvico remote. Not sure what package the rule should go in, but the lircd/run script is in the runit-scripts package.
Updated by GregFrost over 15 years ago
updated lirc package to install the udev rule and runit-scripts to use the symlink created by the rule.
