[mythtv-users] Help with lirc_i2c - nothing happens.. [solution]

Ok.. I figured it out..

I tried running irrecord, hit return and hit a key on my remote.. It was
working all along, just wasn't watching for the right code.

The whole problem was the lircd.conf file.  The file given by Jarod's guide
was not compatible with lirc-0.7.1 and/or FC3.

Here's the one I created (partly with irrecord and partly with trial and
error through vi.. since for some reason irrecord didn't give me the right
codes for about half of the keys.)

If there's any parameters that aren't here that should be let me know.

This file is for the older version of the grey and black hauppauge remote
(the one with the 4 color keys outside the arrows).

Hopefully others will find this file useful.
