Subject: AverMedia TVphone98 TV card - remote control doesnt work :-(((

Hi!
I have the TV card AverMedia TVphone98 (with radio) and 
remote control installed with latest lirc driver v0.6.3 from webpage.
TV card is going well, but I have problems with the remote control,
here is my story how I tried to install it 
(first,I read documentation about lirc driver to know what to exactly do):

My system: kernel 2.4.4 with bttv driver included (original from kernel),
single Intel box (everything works under Win98)

1.) my compilation and installation: 
	I run setup program -> 
	I choose my TV card type = avermedia98 13/41 ->
	I add "alias char-major-61 lirc_driver" to /etc/modules.conf ->
 	I try to run mode2 program ->
	I receive a message containing something about "no sense" ->
	I check if lirc kernel modules are loaded (lsmod command) ->
	No, they arent so I decided to install them by hand :-((
	(IRQs are O.K., the remote control surely works,tested under W98)

2.) installation by hand:
	I run modprope program with additional args :
		modprobe lirc_gpio=0xf88000 gpio_lock_mask=0x10000
		gpio_xor_mask=0x10000 soft_gap=0 sample_rate=10 card=41

	(These parameters I found in lirc docs about AverMedia cards) ->
	Great, it seems to work - lsmod command doesnt lie, lirc kernel
	modules	-lirc_gpio and lirc_dev - are installed now ->
	In system log appears this message (is it O.k?):
		lirc_gpio (0): driver registered
	
3.) Trying the remote control:
	I run the lirc daemon by hand, I set correct config file for
	AverMedia cards - lirc(d/m).conf.avermedia98 - and lirc device to
	/dev/lirc ->
	In sytem log appears this (it still seems to work):
		LOG: lircd(avermedia98) ready

	I run irw program and in system log appears 
	(Thats the problem):
		LOG: lirc_gpio: (13): cannot read GPIO	

	I suppose that something is wrong with config file, so I try
	irrecord program, but nothing happens, when I hold an arbitrary
	button on remote control ... :-(((

And thats all, I dont know where is the main problem. I hope you
help me. I will be very grateful fo any suggestion how to solve it.

Thanks, Dave
