[mythtv-users] Lirc with 0.17, Gentoo, pvr350 & Nexus-S

[Greg Miller]

Hi I am trying to get Lirc up and running on my system. I'm running Gentoo,
Mythtv 0.17, PVR350, Nexus-S DVB. They system works reasonably well (afew
DVB issues but it's new code.. )

I followed the instructions as close as I could, because I have sort of a
combo system with DVB and the pvr350. When I try to test lirc with irw, I
just end up back at the command prompt. If I try it again I get a "connect:
Connection refused" error.

If some one could recommend some steps to test the various components that
are required to make lirc run, I would really appreciate it.

Greg

Additional info:

I installed Lirc with the gentoo ebuild. Lircd is running and I have the
lircd.conf for the newer remote in /etc with the following permissions: 
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  3084 Mar  7 14:45 lircd.conf
I also have LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=hauppauge" in as the last line in my
make.conf. Would I be better of with the source?
