[mythtv-users] IR hardware recognition / rtc

[David Ellis]

Or you could be lazy and buy a USB-UIRT http://www.usb-uirt.com.

Works great - there is a patch for lirc..........transmits and receives.

If you go to www.lirc.org and look on the home page under 
"Home-brew", you'll find several options. Personally, I built this 
one:

   http://www.lirc.org/receivers.html

For transmission, I have built the second one down on this page:

   http://www.lirc.org/transmitters.html

You are correct. Your settings look a lot like mine (2.6.11):

# CONFIG_HPET_TIMER is not set
# CONFIG_HPET is not set
CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y
CONFIG_RTC=m
CONFIG_GEN_RTC=m
CONFIG_GEN_RTC_X=y
CONFIG_SENSORS_RTC8564=m
CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER=m

So I'm not sure why it's not working for you. Maybe try Googling the 
error message you're getting.

(By the way, unless you're giving away personal info or going off on 
a tangent, it's usually a good idea to reply to the list, not just 
the individual who replied to your initial post. That way everyone 
can benefit from the discussion. Thanks!)
