Problem with Hauppauge WinTV

[Volker Drewer-G. <vol...@gm...>]

Hi All!

After reading all sorts of documentation and checking log files, I finally 
send a message to this mailing list because I ran out of ideas on what's 
going wrong:
I have a WinTV card and I'd like to use the onboard IR receiver with LIRC. 
However, it just doesn't work. I'm running the 2.4.5 kernel on a SuSE 7.0 
system. I configured (lirc_i2c) and compiled the latest lirc package (version 
0.6.4).
When I try to run the test program (xmode2) I get the error message:
xmode2: error opening /dev/lirc
xmode2: No such device

Basically the same errors are reported when I try to use lircd and irexec.

When starting the programs the modules get loaded though: Here the log:

Any help is appreciated,
