Re: hauppauge hvr1100 remote control on fedora core 6

[Rob D. <liv...@gm...>]

Wad,

According to the lircd  output you listed in your email, the reason
lirc is not working is because it is unable to find any valid devices.
 Since the remote that you want to use is on your TV tuner card, you
first need to get the TV tuner card drivers working first.  Then once
the tuner card has been identified by the kernel, lirc should be able
to find the device.  A quick google search turned up this howto on the
gentoo forums which should help you out:
