Hello mythtv-users,
Recently updated due to the DS things. I ran into a problem with the
remote however. Currently the remote doesn't function and we have to
use a keyboard to navigate Myth. I'd like to get the remote back to
working.
I originally followed good old Jarod's guide, and followed it for the
upgrade as well. I think my problem may be that the kernel drivers
don't exist yet for my particular flavored kernel. I'm not certain
about this as other modules were integrated into the kernel. Perhaps I
simply have to configure it differently.
Here is where I'm at now,
[root at mrs ~]# /sbin/depmod -a
[root at mrs ~]# /sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c
FATAL: Module lirc_i2c not found.
FATAL: Error running install command for lirc_i2c
[root at mrs ~]# irw
connect: No such file or directory
Here is some feed back from the machine.

The machine is a dell desktop tower, with a single PVR350. I didn't
see anything out of the ordinary in dmesg. Per Jarod's guide I've
added these lines in modprobe.conf
#ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c
The fact that I have irw tells me it's probably a configuration
problem. I just don't know what the configuration problem is, or how
to correct it.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
