Hi Raffaele,

I have the same problem as you (I need to take Aspirins to keep going).
I also have a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1300 as /class/input/input8. I'm
trying lirc-0.8.2pre2 on ubuntu 2.6.20-15

modprobe lirc_dev creates dmesg entry
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61

cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0001 Vendor=0070 Product=9601 Version=0001
N: Name="cx88 IR (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR130"
P: Phys=pci-0000:02:0b.2/ir0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input8
H: Handlers=kbd event5
B: EV=100003
B: KEY=100fc312 214a802 0 0 0 0 18000 41a8 4801 9e1680 0 0 10000ffc

ls -l /dev/input/
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13,  69 2007-06-04 22:19 event5
cat'ing it I don't get any output.

ls -l /dev/lirc*
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 2007-06-04 22:19 /dev/lircd

tail /var/log/lircd
lircd: lircd(hauppauge_dvb) ready
lircd: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
lircd: could not get hardware features
lircd: this device driver does not support the new LIRC interface
lircd: major number of /dev/input/event5 is 13
lircd: LIRC major number is 61
lircd: check if /dev/input/event5 is a LIRC device
lircd: caught signal

Do you get this too?
Chris.
