Winfast TV2000 lirc not working after upgrade to kernel-2.6.22

[Jeffrey J. K. <lir...@ko...>]

I have a Winfast TV2000XL Deluxe tuner card.

Prior to kernel 2.6.22, I had been using the lirc-gpio module to get
lirc working on my Fedora Core 6 system. However, as is well known,
lirc-gpio is broken in kernel 2.6.22 giving errors like:
		  kernel: lirc_gpio: Unknown symbol bttv_get_cardinfo
		  kernel: lirc_gpio: Unknown symbol bttv_get_gpio_queue

So, instead I tried to use the dev/input method, by running:
	lircd -H dev/input --device name="bttv IR (card=34)"

However, when I run irw to test the remote, none of the keys
respond. However, the syslog looks just fine:
		 lircd-0.8.3-CVS[8840]: lircd(userspace) ready
		 lircd-0.8.3-CVS[8840]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
		 lircd-0.8.3-CVS[8840]: initializing 'name=bttv IR (card=34)'

Similarly, when I run irrecord:
		irrecord -H dev/input -d /dev/input/event3 irrecord

I get the following error message after holding down "an arbitrary
key":
		irrecord: gap not found, can't continue
		irrecord: closing '/dev/input/event3'

I am using lircd.conf.PVR2000 as my /etc/lircd.conf file.

Somewhere I read that it may be that the Winfast TV2000 doesn't work
with dev/input and requires lirc_gpio. Is that true?

Either way, what do I need to do to get lirc to work under kernel
2.6.22 for the Winfast TV2000?
