[mythtv-users] IR Problem with FC4

I have Mythtv running on FC4 with a PVR-350. Everything is running but the
remote control. I have installed lirc & lirc-kmdl via yum along with the reset
of the Mythtv suite. I edited my modprobe.conf file and ran these commands.

$mkdir /home/mythtv/.mythtv
$wget http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/lircrc-haupgrey-g3.txt
$mv lircd-haupgrey-g3.conf.txt ~/.mythtv/lircrc
$/sbin/depmod -a
$/sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c
$/sbin/chkconfig lircd on
$/sbin/service lircd start

Once this is done I can try to run /usr/bin/irw and the program exits. if I look
at my messages file I get as below. A list for /dev/lircd shows me.

#ll /dev/lir*
srw-rw-rw-  1 root root 0 Jan  9 20:31 /dev/lircd

I know I need the lirc0 or lirc.


What am I missing to make this work?
any help would be nice.
