TV card = TBS 6981 with latest drivers (supports kernel 2.6.38). it uses the
cx23885 driver, and installed via the readme file (make, make install)
ls /dev/lirc* = no find. there is not 'lirc' at all in /dev/
lsmod = no 'mceusb' drivers or similar. trying to modprobe them, i get the
following:
 > myth at mythtv:~$ modprobe mceusb
 > FATAL: Error inserting mceusb
(/lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/kernel/drivers/media/rc/mceusb.ko): Operation
not permitted

the mceusb device works right up untill i reboot after the tv card drivers
are installed, which it then stops responding to any inputs. (to be fair, i
reboot immediately after the tv card drivers are installed, so i havent
tested if the mceusb device works immediately after install, or just after
reboot).

i'm curently on mythbuntu 11.04, which by default is lirc 0.8.7.


as mentioned before, the fix on mythbuntu 10.10 was to re-configure lirc
which made it work again. this doesnt seem to be the fix on 10.10. i've
tried manually installing the latest lirc 0.9.0 too - no fix.


when i try to (re)compile lirc, i use ./configure --with-driver=default, but
i've also tried ./configure --with-driver=mceusb, but they both fail at the
i2c_SOMETHING module.


google hasnt helped with any of the error messages upto now..
i hope that helps - let me know if you need more info
