What is the URL to the instructions you are following. I am curious now...
Anyway someone who uses SuSE can chime in since I don't know anything
specific about it.

<pre wrap="">Well I can't say I am following a cookbook set of instructions, per say... Tried to piece together what I would have to do from several different websites, among them -

<pre wrap="">Anywise, I did a bit of experimentation with the lircrc configuration file
that MythTV is using.. It now seems that instead of using the button names
that were defined in the lirc.conf file, we now use the token names defined
in the lircd.conf file. So to get the Channel up/down buttons to work, I
changed the button name in the lircrc file from CH+ and CH- (as had been
originally supplied in both the lircrc and lirc.conf that I had picked up
for this remote) to CHANNELUP and CHANNELDOWN which are defined in the
lircd.conf file. AND THAT WORKED!! Therefore I must conclude that the
mapping model of the lircrc file has changed (sometime recently) FROM
mapping input signals that correlate to keys on a remote to keyboard keys TO
mapping tokens produced by the lircd daemon to keyboard keys. (Hmmm makes me
wonder if SuSE/Linux can still handle new remote definitions...)

Well I don't know what "recent" means in the SuSE world but I've not noticed any
big changes in the two years I've been using MythTv on Fedora.
It sounds like you are on the right track though. The lircd.conf and lircrc are
all you should need.

Apparently you are correct, but if you read the websites I went to,
they all imply there are three files that we need to be concerned
about... Hence my confusion.<br>

<pre wrap="">Could you let me know if I got my head wrapped around the model correctly
now? If so, then this model and your trick of selecting the correct module
parameter option for this Hauppauge remote really needs to be documented
somewhere. (I couldn't find any such, and you were able to figure it out
apparently by digging into the code base..)

I happen to be familiar with the kernel code for remotes since I have to apply
a patch to get one of my remotes to work. Certainly one shouldn't have to
know this kind of stuff to get a 350 remote working.
BTW, I don't see a lot of MythTV users using SuSE. Unless you have a
particular
reason for doing so you might be better off with Fedora, Debian, or
Ubuntu or one
of the MythTV distros like Mythdora.

I been a user of SuSE for quite some time now and there are MythTV/SuSE
users around. It is the distro I am most familiar with, use it at work
as well as at home, so not sure I want to learn another one. Again
thanks a million for your help, still hoping someone will be able to
answer my other questions and I am sure I will be posting a few more
before I get this fully configured...<br>
