[mythtv-users] Getting remote to start on boot

[Dave M G]

MythTV users,

I'm running Mythbuntu 10.10, and I have a Hauppauge PVR-150 remote.

It has been working mostly fine for years. However, since upgrading to
10.10, whenever I reboot the machine, I need to run this command to make
the remote control work:

sudo modprobe lirc_zilog

Don't even ask how I eventually figured out that was the command. It's a
long story and I'm not even sure I can retrace the steps anymore.

Also, this may be connected, but I have this command among my list of
programs that auto-start:

irexec -d

... However, that is also not working. I have to manually start it from
the command line (after running the command above). Even though I have
it set to be executed on every boot, it needs manual starting.

So, in summary, to have my remote control working, after every reboot, I
have to run the following two commands, by hand:

sudo modprobe lirc_zilog
irexec -d

Surely there's a way I can get the system to automatically do these for
me...?

Any advice would be much appreciated.
