kernel/drivers/staging/lirc/lirc_serial.ko.xz exists on my system. My mobo doesn't have an IRC contact. The dealer sold me a gaming computer without asking me what I wanted.

(In reply to Doug Laidlaw from comment #1) > kernel/drivers/staging/lirc/lirc_serial.ko.xz exists on my system. They exists on my system also. The question I have, are the actual modules supposed to be .ko.xz or .ko that are loaded by the system? # lsmod | grep lirc #

One link has "Note: lirc_serial.ko ..." None say what the actual module should be, but rpmfind links say that Mga2 kernel rpm has lirc_serial.ko.xz. In my case, mplayer has always said that it can't load the lirc modules. With nothing to drive, I took that as normal. Just trying to narrow the inquiry. You know more than I do.
(In reply to Bit Twister from comment #0) > Description of problem: > > /usr/sbin/lircd could not get file information for /dev/lirc0 Workaround Solution: create /etc/modules-load.d/lirc.conf with lirc_dev lirc_serial I also made the /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/lirc.rules change defined in bug 10537

My computer does not have an IR connector, so this bug doesn't affect me.
