[mythtv-users] Native lirc in Mythtv on PVR-250 Mandrake 9.2

[Scott Rowe]

Looking good so far.. You probably need to copy
/<myth-install-dir>/configfiles/hauppauge-lircrc-nativelirc to your
/<user-who-runs-mythfrontend's-home-directory>/.mythtv/lircrc

Subject: [mythtv-users] Native lirc in Mythtv on PVR-250 Mandrake 9.2

I am having trouble getting native lirc working in mythtv. I compiled 0.1.9
from source, and setup per the Docs (as far as I can tell).

When I run irw, I get key[resses:

Mythtv seems to be working petty well, but without remote.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Where else should I look?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
