Slackware / lirc lirc-0.7.0pre2 / Hauppauge PVR 250

[Jason H. <jas...@ni...>]

Greetings and salutations..



I am having a bit of an issue with lirc, that I can not seem to get a bead
on.  Let me give some details first, then maybe one of you kind souls can
give me a little help.

Runing slackware 9.1 w/kernel 2.4.22
TV Card is Hauppauge PVR-250 (grey remote)

I ran ./setup, and selected 1, 5 for TV Card, and then f for Hauppauge TV
card.  Saved, ran configuration, compiled and installed w/ no problems.


Here is the output regarding lirc with lsmod:


lirc_i2c                4160   0
lirc_dev                8720   1  [lirc_i2c]



dmesg info:


lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61

lirc_i2c: chip found @ 0x18 (Hauppauge IR)

lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin:sample_rate: 10




/var/log/lircd output:

Nov 11 14:29:47 gotha lircd 0.7.0pre2: lircd(hauppauge) ready
Nov 11 14:30:58 gotha lircd 0.7.0pre2: accepted new client on /dev/lircd


Lircd is running, however when I load up irw, and start pushing buttons on
the remote nothing happens -- grabbed my video cam recorder, and sure enough
I could see the IR light on the remote, so I know it is working.

Here is my /etc/lircd.conf

I am using 0.7.0pre2 due to the fact that this is what was inside the
documentation for mythtv.


Something I did notice, during setup was it indicated next to Hauppauge TV
card it had these in parenthesis "new I2C required".  -- Not sure what this
is about?


.. Anyway, it appears everything is loaded properly, but I am just not sure
what is the problem.  If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very
appreciative.  Thank you!
