[mythtv-users] Install tips for RH9 and PVR250 owners for Myth

[Ken VanDine]

Thanks for the reply, but still no luck.  I have tried both 
lircd.conf and lircd-g.conf that came with ivtv and get the same 
response.  I do have the new grey one.  It sounds strange to me, but I read 
on lirc.org that they require the bttv driver to be loaded to handle the 
hardware detection.  This seems odd to me, not everyone using a remote has a 
bttv compatible capture card.  And obviously it works for you (and others).  
Not sure what to do from here.  Did you do anything in your kernel config 
that might make a difference?  Can you send me copies of your lircd-g.conf 
(i know it came with ivtv source, but i would like to diff it from mine) and 
your .config from your kernel source?

Thanks,
--Ken
