mine isn't working right now.
I downloaded and installed the new lirc. The file /lib/modules/2.6.28-15-server/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_it87/lirc_it87.ko exists.
Any idea?

your module tries to find IT8705/12 and normally it's the IT820

as you can notice you have twice lirc_dev and lirc_it87
so when you try to mount these modules, you charge the wrong ones I think ..
copy the old one as lirc_dev.ko.old and lirc_it87.ko.old (you can check the path by doing modprobe -v lirc_it87 for example) and replace them by the new ones (those that are in the other path)
be careful, before doing that unload the previous modules if they are already in memory by doing
Code:
modprobe -r lirc_dev
modprobe -r lirc_it87

I just got to this step, but when doing sudo mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 i do not get anything. I modified the /etc/lirc/hardware.conf also. What did I missed?
2009-09-13, 17:06
I also see IRQ 11 or 5 in the BIOS, but the dmesg says it's irq 7. How may I change the irq in lirc? or is that correct?
2009-09-17, 11:30
I've gotten a bit further. The modules are loading properly although reporting IRQ 7 instead of 11 as the BIOS says. I can enter mode2 ("sudo mode2 -d /dev/lirc0") but I get no output when pressing the buttons. (I've checked the battery of the remote too...)

I have the same problem. mode2 reports nothing when I press the buttons on my remote control. (The one bundled with Pundit P4). Is there anyone that successfully got that particular remote working and can share the hardware.conf and lircd.conf files with us? I am using lircd 0.8.6 compiled on top of Ubuntu's aptitude version.

Hi Aslef I'm new to this forum and I have same HW, are using the exact same setup and are experiencing the exact same problem.
After reading the installation notes on lirc site http://www.lirc.org/html/install.html...
did you follow the post installation steps, ie
To allow other than root can connect to lircd
chmod 666 /var/run/lirc/lircd
and update /etc/conf.modules with:
alias char-major-61 lirc_it87
options lirc_it87 irq=11 io=0x310 or options lirc_it87 irq=0xb io=0x310
not sure if this can solve the problem, but I'm not able to test this myself since I'm not at home at the moment and I'm curious if this will solve the problem.

Sorry for all questions.
Hi I'm experiencing the same problem with Pundit getting the wrong IRQ=7, did you resolve it and in that case how? or was it the "chmod 666 /dev/lircd" that resolved the problem?
I've got a Harmony 525 how did you set up your H555 remote since the shipped remote seems difficult to get working.
I managed to get Lirc working 
on my Pundit P4 by doing the steps described by JS36 post#27 in this forum and the following steps:
For some reason ubuntu 9.04 is shipped with the modules lirc_dev and lirc_it87 and these old modules need to be replaced by the new/freshly complied ones that we created according to steps described by JS36 post#27.
make sure correct modules are loaded by:
find /lib/modules/ -iname 'lirc*.ko'
check the output: if the modules lirc_dev and lirc_it87 are listed twice for the same kernel you are using then you need to replace the old module with the new ones; you can check the path by doing: modprobe -v lirc_dev and modprobe -v lirc_it87, replace with new modules
Remeber which kernel version you are using and replace 2.6.28-11-generic below with the kernel version you are using.
uname -r gives you the kernel version you are using.
the new modules are installed in /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/misc/
Rename old modules:
mv /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_it87/lirc_it87.ko /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_it87/lirc_it87.ko.old
mv /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.ko /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.ko.old
Create symbolic links to the new modules:
ln -s /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/misc/lirc_dev.ko /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.ko
ln -s /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/misc/lirc_it87.ko /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_it87/lirc_it87.ko
Create file lirc.conf
nano /etc/modprobe.d/lirc.conf
copy and paste the following 2 rows below:
alias char-major-61 lirc_dev
options lirc_it87 irq=11 io=0x310
Ctrl+X - Save and exit
Reboot system
---------Test installation--------------------
dmesg | grep lirc
you should get the following output:
root@htpc:~$ dmesg | grep lirc
[ 10.646498] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61
[ 10.652555] lirc_dev: lirc_register_driver: sample_rate: 0

[ 10.652674] lirc_it87: I/O port 0x0310, IRQ 11.
[ 10.652686] lirc_it87: Installed.
If modules are loaded successfully then test remote by:
mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 and press buttons on remote (shipped Asus remote works perfectly)
you should get an output similar to the following in the terminal window when pressing the buttons on the remote:
space 34
pulse 174
space 42834
pulse 174
space 40786
pulse 174
space 42834
pulse 254

space 42826
pulse 174
space 40786
pulse 2414
space 802
pulse 438
space 386
pulse 374
Ctrl+c to end test
Test irw - are the signals decoded correctly by lircd
irw /dev/lircd and start pressing buttons on the remote
you should get an output similar to the following:
000000037ff07bf2 00 Home mceusb
000000037ff07bf2 00 Home mceusb
000000037ff07bde 00 Right mceusb
000000037ff07bde 01 Right mceusb
000000037ff07bdf 00 Left mceusb
000000037ff07bdf 01 Left mceusb
Ctrl+c to end test
Start xbmc and test the remote control.
And it should work as it worked for me

check the output: if the modules lirc_dev and lirc_it87 are listed twice for the same kernel you are using then you need to replace the old module with the new ones; you can check the path by doing: modprobe -v lirc_dev and modprobe -v lirc_it87, replace with new modules
Remeber which kernel version you are using and replace 2.6.28-11-generic below with the kernel version you are using.
uname -r gives you the kernel version you are using.
the new modules are installed in /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/misc/
Rename old modules:
mv /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_it87/lirc_it87.ko /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_it87/lirc_it87.ko.old
mv /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.ko /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.ko.old
Create symbolic links to the new modules:
ln -s /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/misc/lirc_dev.ko /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.ko
ln -s /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/misc/lirc_it87.ko /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_it87/lirc_it87.ko
Create file lirc.conf
nano /etc/modprobe.d/lirc.conf
copy and paste the following 2 rows below:
alias char-major-61 lirc_dev
options lirc_it87 irq=11 io=0x310
Ctrl+X - Save and exit
Reboot system
---------Test installation--------------------
dmesg | grep lirc
you should get the following output:
root@htpc:~$ dmesg | grep lirc
[ 10.646498] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61
[ 10.652555] lirc_dev: lirc_register_driver: sample_rate: 0
[ 10.652615] lirc_it87: found IT8720.
[ 10.652629] lirc_it87: set default io 0x310
[ 10.652643] lirc_it87: set default irq 0xb
[ 10.652674] lirc_it87: I/O port 0x0310, IRQ 11.
[ 10.652686] lirc_it87: Installed.
If modules are loaded successfully then test remote by:
mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 and press buttons on remote (shipped Asus remote works perfectly)
you should get an output similar to the following in the terminal window when pressing the buttons on the remote:
space 34
pulse 174
space 42834
pulse 174
space 40786
pulse 174
space 42834
pulse 254
space 42754
pulse 182
space 42826
pulse 174
space 40786
pulse 2414
space 802
pulse 438
space 386
pulse 374
Ctrl+c to end test
Test irw - are the signals decoded correctly by lircd
irw /dev/lircd and start pressing buttons on the remote
you should get an output similar to the following:
000000037ff07bf2 00 Home mceusb
000000037ff07bf2 00 Home mceusb
000000037ff07bde 00 Right mceusb
000000037ff07bde 01 Right mceusb
000000037ff07bdf 00 Left mceusb
000000037ff07bdf 01 Left mceusb
Ctrl+c to end test
Start xbmc and test the remote control.
And it should work as it worked for me
Thanks all for you input especially to darkattraction and JS36.

thx for the good job sutsan.
But it would be really nice for you to post a detailed step by step guide from the beginning.
I had my friend over here and he managed to do this for me. But we got stucked here

000000037ff07bdf 01 Left mceusb
Nothing happens when we pressed buttons at this stage.
Don´t know what else i can do for now.
bra gjort btw

If the mode2 is echoing the keystrokes on your remote, but you get no echo from irw, I guess you missed this step:
Choose the right remote control by creating the /etc/lirc/lircd.conf file:
sudo cp /usr/src/lirc-0.8.6pre2/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
I am in the process of compiling a step-by-step instruction on how to get the remote working, just hang in there... I will post it on this forum soon.
