[mythtv-users] Hauppauge Lirc setup and new mythtv install

Jarod,

Regarding initscripts,  I have been starting lircd from the command  
line with "lircd -n " and then running "irw" in another console  
session.   I have also tried the fedora 13 package /etc/rc.d/init.d/ 
lirc script with the same results.   It does not appear to bind to the  
hardware.

One thing I don't fully understand about the f13 packages, I don't see  
a kernel module package.   Do those need to be built from the  
source?   I'm assuming they're necessary.

If it helps, I did get the remote to sort of work using the dev/input  
and ir_kbd_i2c setup.   When I "modprobe ir_kbd_i2c ", the following  
appears in dmesg:

input: i2c IR (Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 as /devices/virtual/input/input4
Creating IR device irrcv0
ir-kbd-i2c: i2c IR (Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 detected at i2c-0/0-0071/ 
ir0 [ivtv i2c driver #0]

I can actually half-way navigate mythtv using a select few buttons on  
the remote, but it's not really usable that way.

when I instead   modprobe lirc_i2c , all I get is

   lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 250

with no hardware bind.

The PVR-150 does have a blaster adapter on the IR cord.   I assume  
that means RX and TX.

I haven't used this PVR-150 for IR capabilities for a couple of years,  
so that's why I'm a little behind on its configuration.    I used to  
always compile my own vanilla kernels and the recompile lirc without  
problem.     With this new machine, I'm trying to avoid a custom  
kernel, but I'm not opposed to compiling the lirc stuff each time a  
kernel update comes down the pipeline.

Is there a full-blown tarball package download for the lirc_zilog, or  
is it just in .diff patch form?   I did some searching yesterday and  
didn't have luck finding it.   I will search some more because I know  
you're a busy guy.

Thanks,
Brian
