Tom, I *just* got it working. I must admit, I followed the wiki<br>
instructions and kept failing. I came across an irc log where Bierdo<br>
was helping echosysp with a similar issue with the hdpvr module. I<br>
read along with that and noticed that the wiki makes it seem like you<br>
can select just the pvr related modules in the v4l/.conf file to<br>
compile, but that apparently isn't true. I had to compile all of the<br>
modules from the media_build tree and then install them and *then*<br>
make sure that there weren't any duplicate modules after the install.<br>
There were some and I had to clean those up, though I must admit, I<br>
only cleaned up the hdvpr, lirc_zilog, lirc_dev and v4l_compat<br>
modules. After that, I got:<br>
<br>
v4l2_compat_ioctl32: Unknown symbol put_compat_timespec (err 0)<br>
<br>
in dmesg after trying to insert the hdpvr module, so I copied over my<br>
original v4l2-compat-ioctl32.ko from my kernel tree to the module<br>
location, ran depmod -a and then had success. Then I modprob'd<br>
lirc_zilog and got my /dev/lirc0 device. Success!<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br><div>Michael, Thanks for the info. I will have to re-read the instructions, but I was under the impression that there was little I had to do from the wiki.</div><br>"Ubuntu/MythBuntu 11.04 currently has built-in support for the HD-PVR's IR Blaster. Follow the steps below to enable the IR transmitter."<div>
<br></div><div>I thought I followed the 10 or so steps. I hope to try again this weekend. I know I screwed something up tinkering.</div><div><br></div><div>-Tom</div>
