[mythtv-users] Hauppauge Lirc setup and new mythtv install

I just cleaned out the modprobe.d/lircd.conf file as you suggested.    
I also changed the hardware.conf file to point to /dev/lirc instead  
of /dev/lirc0
I did a "make uninstall" from the 0.8.7 source and I also uninstalled  
all lirc packages via yum.   I renamed the lirc-client files in /usr/ 
lib, which are required by mythtv.  (I figure the source would re- 
install.)

I then searched the drive for any other remnants of lirc and couldn't  
find anything.

Then, I did a make clean and make in the lirc 0.8.7 source directory  
after running setup.sh.    It all compiled file and then installed  
with make install.

I did a modprobe lirc_i2c and then lsmod:

lirc_i2c                4727  0
lirc_dev               12321  1 lirc_i2c
i2c_core               20553  11  
lirc_i2c 
,tuner_simple 
,wm8775 
,tuner,cx25840,ivtv,i2c_algo_bit,v4l2_common,videodev,tveeprom,i2c_piix4

lircd -n  still did not bind to the card.   Still no luck with irw.

The next thing I thought I'd try is to move the PCI card up a bit in  
the heirarchy.    Any other ideas for me to try?   BTW., I did install  
the latest available FC13 kernel 2.6.34 via yum (and its sources)  
before doing all the lirc install.

Are there any debug-enabling flags for lircd, so I can find out why  
it's not working with the hardware?

Thanks so much,

Brian
