I haven't, yet setup the wheel for use, but I can confirm that the reciver and the LCD appear in /dev as you mentioned above. >When you would either read or write a lot of data from/to these devices >the driver will somehow fail.

I'm running MythTV on the pc using this case, so by it's nature there's a *lot* of traffic to the LCD screen. The driver and/or daemon appear to hang intermittently. I've got a feeling my issues is down to interference from another IR device in the room (I've got a pesky nelson TV ratings box in the same room, and I can replicate the issue by holding down one of the buttons on the remote for that box). In this case, the only way I can fix the issue is by completely power cycling the hardware (ie, by removing power for 15-20 seconds) I've tried restarting Lirc, removing and re-inserting the modules, and just about everything else I can think of, and the issue is only resolved if I power cycle the server. I'm starting to wonder if my bug is different to yours. The issue isn't a deal breaker for me, but it can be a pita at times. -- LCDd crashes: vfd_write: no iMON device present https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146292 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
