Hello,
I am trying to get lirc to work when myth starts. I have followed Jarods howto
like everybody else. :)
PVR-250
athlon 1800+
256MB RAM
myth 0.16
FC2
Here is what I have to do to get this thing to work:
Boot automagically into mythtv, when myth starts I have no lirc so I have to
depmod -a > modprobe lirc_i2c > service lircd start.
Then I have to use my keyboard to exit out of myth then restart it using the
menu under System and Sound > mythtvfrontend.
After that lirc works fine. Not quite what I want to do everytime I have to
restart this box.
I understand the part where I have to exit out of myth and restart it as being a
problem with focus of the mouse. I have made tha changes as Jarod suggested and
still no love.
Why this thing doesn't start lirc or insert the module at boot time is one of
lifes little mysteries I guess.
Here is my modprob.conf file:
alias eth0 8139too
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371
install snd-ens1371 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-ens1371 &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-ens1371 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-ens1371
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
# lirc modules setup
install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c
# nvidia kernel module
alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-6111
Here is the output of lsmod after I have inserted the lirc_i2c module manually:

I believe if I can get the lirc module to get inserted I could put the service
start command in rc.local and that would fix it.
I will wait till I solve this problem to figure out the focus problem.
Thanks for any help,
Jon
