I'll second that, also installed automatically under SuSE 10 (kernel
2.6.13-15-smp), had to recompile lirc with the devinput driver rather than
the hauppauge driver as the ir was automatically recognised and mapped to
/dev/input/event2 (and the proceded to confuse the fsck out of me cos the
remote worked with mythtv while lirc wasn't running ;-) ).

There is no additional input though, it's freeview or nothing.
