[mythtv-users] lirc irw problem

[scott at tbwifi.ca]

I have solved my problem.

In Mandriva you can install via urpmi

This site walked me through the steps necessary afterwards.

http://www.mandrake.tips.4.free.fr/configuration2006.html

as root:
urpmi lirc lirc-remotes
cp /usr/share/lirc-remotes/hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge /etc/lircd.conf
cp /usr/share/lirc-remotes/hauppauge/lircmd.conf.hauppauge /etc/lircmd.conf
vi /etc/sysconfig/lircd
(feel free to use any other text editor instead of vi) where I changed the
following things:
DRIVER=UNCONFIGURED into: DRIVER=default
and:
HWMOD=UNCONFIGURED I replace with the following 2 things:
HWMOD=lirc_dev
HWMOD=lirc_i2c
Note that the lirc device is now correctly mentioned as /dev/lirc/0 so
contrary to Mdv05 no need to change anything.

Finally, to start things I issued these 2 commands:
service lircd start
service lircmd start
