hi,
i've a lot of problem with the first step
root@asrock:~# dmesg | grep -i nuvoton
[ 18.793183] input: Nuvoton w836x7hg Infrared Remote Transceiver as /devices/virtual/rc/rc0/input2
[ 18.793577] rc0: Nuvoton w836x7hg Infrared Remote Transceiver as /devices/virtual/rc/rc0
[ 18.824479] nuvoton_cir: driver has been successfully loaded
I think the last line is very important for a full functionality
[ 7.698640] rc rc0: lirc_dev: driver ir-lirc-codec (nuvoton-cir) registered at minor = 0
I'm running ubuntu 11.04 with xbmc.
i have tried to reinstall lirc but without success.
can someone help me?
thanks

djste Wrote:ok.. sorry... when i type dmsg | grep -i nuvoton i have this output:
nuvoton w836x7hg : chip not supported, id 0x63, 0x33
but the chip w836x7hg is supported.. right?
i don't know why the remote doesn't work....
P.s. i have 2.6.38-5 kernel
That chip is a super I/O chip it supports bothe sensors and the consumer infra read found on the Asrock ION HT.
This means two drivers are required one for the Remote and one for the sensors, until recently the sensors part of the chip didnt have a driver now it does. please see it on my signature.

Thanks for help and instructions.
Works great! I'm very happy. After days and days of Googlelling this f***ing Asrock remote issue, it works know.
I've transmitted the link to Asrock, hope they will help others Asrock users...
It's very important to remove asrock's crappy lirc drivers , if not it won't work (yes, i've experienced it... :-| ).

Why you try to install driver? It's already part of the kernel.
