[mythtv-users] Lirc Question

[Stuart Felenstein]

Sorry, I signed up and posted on the Lirc list but it seems like a very quiet place.  

Anyway, this is more for a reality check then troubleshooting.

1-Do I need to have IRDA support turned on in the kernel?  I thought it was not to be enabled, then I saw another site that said yes, just the initial support.

2-I have both a blaster/transmitter and a remote.  I'm assuming most people do.  I ran the ./configure / install first for my blaster.  That inserted two modules, lirc_dev and lirc_sir and then make clean (just in case) and did a /configure and insall for the remote (Hauppague).  

Contrary to the myth doc I went with Lirc cvs and chose the option for the remote with i2c which is enabled in my kernel (core, bitbanging).  

3-Until I ran /usr/local/sbin/lircd there was no /dev entry.  I'm assuming that is normal, at least till I intialize my init script for bootup.  

4-Does it sound like I'm on the right track here?

Thanks

Stuart
