Dell Media Remote Driver

[Jim S. <jim...@gm...>]

I am working on a MythTV configuration after being unimpressed with the
flexibility of Vista MCE (although the remote worked). I am running Fedora
Core 6 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 (i686 after correcting the i586 bug). I have
everything working except the remote. It shows up successfully as a Philips
RCS USB IR Combo Device and works correctly as a USB HID Keyboard. I can use
the basic functions but without LIRC support, I can't customize any of the
buttons beyond basic navigation and numbers.

I have tried installing based on the MythTV HOWTO
# yum -y install lirc-kmdl-$KVER
# yum -y install lirc

I tried the most recent build
# wget http://lirc.sourceforge.net/software/snapshots/lirc-0.8.2pre1.tar.bz2
autogen.sh, setup.sh, make, make install
as well as "cvs -z8
-d:pserver:ano...@li...:/cvsroot/lirc co lirc" with
the same make method.

The outcome is the same each time (ran irw in another session):
[root@myth lirc-0.8.2pre1]# lircd -n            
lircd: lircd(mceusb2) ready
lircd: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
lircd: could not open /dev/lirc
lircd: default_init(): No such device
lircd: caught signal
Terminated

I have also tried mceusb driver. Can anyone confirm if this device is
supported and if so, which driver I should use. Thank you.
