I've installed last avaible r5 2.6.25 kernel-image from

and now the controller is known by the system:

However, I'm experiencing some problem configuring lirc for my Terratec
remote controller (that it's still not included here:
http://www.lirc.org/remotes.tar.bz2).

Could you kindly help me please? I tell you what I did, so that you can
tell me where I get wrong. At the end, of course I will glad to post my
lircd.conf here.

1. # aptitude install lirc

2. $ cat /proc/bus/input/device

3. # nano /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

    >>> DRIVER=dev/input
    >>> DEVICE=/dev/input/event7

4. # /etc/init.d/lirc stop

5. $ irrecord -H samsung -d /dev/input/event7 ~/prova-01.txt

At this stage I receive the following error:

Of course lircd is not running. Where could it be the problem? It is
just that I have to install lirc-modules-source with module-install (but
I still can't install linux-headers for 2.6.25-r5), or it is just/also
another problem?

Thanks for your support,

giopas

ps: I run Debian SID/Experimental and, as you've guest, I never used
lirc before! :D
