[mythtv-users] Remote does not work / Debian Linux...

[stuart]

Hi...

I have a fresh install of Debian (was F8 but couldn't get past that SATA 
problem they are having w/their latest kernel).  Lots of mythtv is 
working - but I can not get the remote to work!

I am trying to use what, evidently, is the default setup for Debian. 
That is, it looks like the ir_kbd_i2c module is being loaded to take 
care of the IR remote control.

However, I haven't been able to get it working.  There are plenty of 
lirc howtos everywhere. But I haven't been able to find a ir_kbd_i2c 
howto.  At least not one that makes sense to me (I have found some 
discussions that use both lirc and ir_kbd_i2c - but aren't these both 
driver modules that do the same thing??).

I don't want to use the lirc module exclusively because I anticipate it 
will not work for me.  I have both a Hauppauge PVR-150 and KWorld 
ATSC-110 card in my mythtv system.  These both bring in drivers that try 
and handle i2c events.  So, I anticipate, by using lirc, I will be 
missing all or some of the remote's button presses.

...thanks
