[mythtv-users] Continuing the lirc Fedora14 issue with PVR350

[The Walters]

>>/  >>
/>>/  /  This past week had to replace a dead motherboard on a system that has been running solid for 4 years with myth 0.21 and fedora 8.  Did a clean install of Fedora 14 and mythtv 0.24.  All is working well except for PVR350 remote (I have a 150 in the system as well no remote input).  I have seen where ivtv has move to the kernel and lirc_zilog is now going to be the standard.  Don't have an IR Blaster just a receiver.

Sorry about that bad language.

I was just reading a post you made back on 3-31-2010 about that and have done so.

I added LIRC_MODULE="ir-kbd-i2c" to /etc/sysconfig/lirc but the ir-kbd-i2c doesn't get loaded so i end up with
lircd-0.9.0-pre1[1569]: unable to open '/dev/input/event7'

Is this the right place to load the module?
