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.
