[mythtv-users] LIRC and Hauppauge question

[Robert Kulagowski]

If you're using the remotes from Tekgems, they're Packard Bell remotes. 
  I compiled from source, but maybe some of this will help:

lircd 0.7.0pre2[4767]: lircd(packard_bell) ready

You're also getting a message that the /etc/lircd.conf file isn't found. 
  That's not something to ignore.

The /etc/lircd.conf is specific for the remote that you'll be using.  In 
my case, I'm using a Pinnacle Remote with a Packard Bell receiver.

Get rid of anything in /etc/modules.conf that's associating 
char-major-61 with lirc_i2c.

Finally, make sure that everything is being loaded correctly: (I've got 
this in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local)

echo "Setting serial"
/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
echo "Modprobing PVR-250"
modprobe ivtv
echo "Modprobing lirc"
modprobe lirc_serial
echo "Starting lircd"
/usr/local/sbin/lircd --device=/dev/lirc/0
