Jarod,
Regarding initscripts, I have been starting lircd from the command
line with "lircd -n " and then running "irw" in another console
session. I have also tried the fedora 13 package /etc/rc.d/init.d/
lirc script with the same results. It does not appear to bind to the
hardware.
One thing I don't fully understand about the f13 packages, I don't see
a kernel module package. Do those need to be built from the
source? I'm assuming they're necessary.
If it helps, I did get the remote to sort of work using the dev/input
and ir_kbd_i2c setup. When I "modprobe ir_kbd_i2c ", the following
appears in dmesg:
input: i2c IR (Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 as /devices/virtual/input/input4
Creating IR device irrcv0
ir-kbd-i2c: i2c IR (Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 detected at i2c-0/0-0071/
ir0 [ivtv i2c driver #0]
I can actually half-way navigate mythtv using a select few buttons on
the remote, but it's not really usable that way.
when I instead modprobe lirc_i2c , all I get is
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 250
with no hardware bind.
The PVR-150 does have a blaster adapter on the IR cord. I assume
that means RX and TX.
I haven't used this PVR-150 for IR capabilities for a couple of years,
so that's why I'm a little behind on its configuration. I used to
always compile my own vanilla kernels and the recompile lirc without
problem. With this new machine, I'm trying to avoid a custom
kernel, but I'm not opposed to compiling the lirc stuff each time a
kernel update comes down the pipeline.
Is there a full-blown tarball package download for the lirc_zilog, or
is it just in .diff patch form? I did some searching yesterday and
didn't have luck finding it. I will search some more because I know
you're a busy guy.
Thanks,
Brian
