[mythtv-users] Mandrake91, Lirc and the PVR250....Bad combo?

[Adrian Burden]

Someone just posted this on the lirc list, installing pvr-250 on
Mandrake 9. They said they had to use 0.7.0pre1.

OK, I FIXED IT!!!   WooHoo! irw now detects remote presses!

The secret is...(what's it worth to you?) ...

You HAVE to download the source from CVS, and build that. Its version
0.7.0pre1
See http://www.lirc.org/cvs.html for instructions. (But you DO have to
"make install" at the end, which they don't mention.)

I'm running on Mandrake 9.1 with a PVR-250 and for the life of my I
can't get a response from irw after installing lirc.  I've been
struggling with this for a couple of days now.  

 

I've followed all of the myth and lirc doc very carefully.  Lirc
compiles fine (latest CVS code).  I've added the lircd.conf (from ivtv)
to /etc.  I've started the lircd_dev and lirc_i2c modules and added the
appropriate lines to the modules.conf file.  

 

I just can't get anything to happen when I start irw.  It just sits
there, not reporting even a single character as I feverishly press the
buttons on the remote (the new light gray remote).  There aren't even
any errors in the /var/log/lircd file!

 

I know that the remote and receiver both work because I dual-boot to
WindowsXP and they run fine over there.

 

Does anyone have this combo?  Is there a trick to it?

 

Thanks,

Aaron
