problem with Hauppauge HVR-1300 non-MCE remote

[Raffaele B. <raf...@st...>]

Hi,

I'd appreciate some pointers to try debugging the problem I have getting
my Hauppauge HVR-1300 remote working. The system is Gentoo with kernel
2.6.20 and lirc 0.8.1. I'm trying to set up a Mythtv box.

I am confused whether the remote should be 'seen' through:

- the /dev/lirc interface, compiling lirc with device=hauppauge_dvb, or
- the kernel event interface, compiling lirc with device=devinput

I have tried both, in the first case the device /dev/lirc0 is not
created. In the latter case, /dev/input/event3 is present, but cat'ing
it I don't get any output. If I run lircd with device dev/input, it
starts with no errors but I see no feedback pressing the remote keys.

I tried to enable debug flags through /sys interface, both for ir_common
module (which should affect the event interface) and for the lirc_dev
module (for the /dev/lirc0 interface), but in neither case I get
additional info in syslog.

The remote is recognized by the kernel, from syslog:
input: cx88 IR (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR130 as /class/input/input3

Could anybody tell me which is the correct interface for this remote and
point me to some way to debug the problem? Any hints are greatly
appreciated, I'm running out of ideas.

thanks,

raf
