Problems with lirc_haup

[Pekka S. A. <pah...@ma...>]

Hi,

I have compiled lirc-0.6.1 with 2.5.2 i2c stack in order to get my
TV-card's (Hauppage) ir receiver to work, btw. kernel version is
2.2.14. Yes, I've read from docs that all tv card drivers need >2.4.x
kernel to work, but I determined that only critical feature between 2.2.x
and 2.4.x is the newer i2c stack - is it?

So, the problem is that mode2 prints out message:

"This program is only intended for receivers supporting the pulse/space
layer. Note that this is no error, but this program simply makes no sense
for your receiver."

I was a bit of surprised because with lirc 0.6.1pre1 I managed to get
little more further, that time mode2 printed out something like:
"error: can't open /dev/lirc"

Both time I followed instructions as follows:
./configure
make
make install
add to /etc/conf.modules line "char-major-61 lirc_haup"
depmod
modprobe lirc_dev
modprobe lirc_haup
and next try to execute mode2


I'd appreciate much if someone would tell me what I'm doing wrong or do I
just have to install newer kernel? =)

Thanks in advance!
