[mythtv-users] how to get Hauppauge gray remote (PVR-250) working under kernel 2.6.38

I have an old Hauppauge PVR-250 with a "gray" remote.  Been working just fine using both the lirc_dev and lirc_i2c modules as described on lirc's FAQ page.  Since 2.6.38-rc2, there is no more lirc_i2c module.  Upon googling around, I found this thread (http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/470613?do=post_view_threaded#470613) which teaches how the ir-kbd-i2c module can be used here.

I can't seems to get it right though.

# modprobe ir-kbd-i2c

# dmesg |tail -n 4
Registered IR keymap rc-rc5-tv
input: i2c IR (Hauppauge) as /devices/virtual/rc/rc0/input6
rc0: i2c IR (Hauppauge) as /devices/virtual/rc/rc0
ir-kbd-i2c: i2c IR (Hauppauge) detected at i2c-1/1-0018/ir0 [ivtv i2c driver #0]

# tail -n 10 /proc/bus/input/devices
N: Name="i2c IR (Hauppauge)"
P: Phys=i2c-1/1-0018/ir0
S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/rc/rc0/input6
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd event6

B: MSC=10

# lircd -H devinput -d /dev/input/event6

The author said to use the lircd.conf.devinput config file provided with lirc, which I copied over my /etc/lirc/lircd.conf but this makes no sense to me.  That is the specific file for my remote.  How should I melt it with my old /etc/lirc/lircd.conf to allow the remote to work again?

My old /etc/lirc/lirc.d is here: http://pastebin.com/CeyVQhNJ
The /usr/share/lirc/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput that came with lirc is here: http://pastebin.com/F7jN9LKZ

Thanks in advance!
