I couldn't really follow the mythtv docs for this part they were more
geared towards mandrake/RH so I installed 2 packages, lirc and
lirc-modules-source.
Then I downloaded my lircd.conf and put it in /etc/.  I have read of
some issues of this card/remote not working w/LIRC but then was when
they hacked the BTTV file which I did not have to do.  Anyway so I try
to start the lirc driver manually and I get this
 
debian:/usr/src/modules/lirc# /etc/init.d/lirc start
#####################################################
## I couldn't load the required kernel modules     ##
## You should install lirc-modules-source to build ##
## kernel support for your hardware.               ##
#####################################################
## If this message is not appropriate you may set  ##
## LOAD_MODULES=false in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf   ##
 
im a  little confused about 2 things, 1 where I am supposed to specify
what port my remote thingie is going into and 2 how the heck I know what
that port is called b/c for my card its plugged into the tv tuner, not
into a com port or anything.
Any ideas?  I guess worse comes to worse I could remove the packages and
try the old fashioned compiling way.
(BTW I read about RH having to rebuild the kernel after this, do I have
to do that as well?)
Thanks again
