[Pvrusb-user] remote?

[Bret C. W. <bw...@al...>]

I am using my pvrusb2 with Kubuntu Breezy on a Thinkpad T42.  I'm using ATI=
's=20
8.20 accelerated driver, and mplayer for display.  I can watch TV just fine.

I haven't figured out how to get the remote working.  I have looked over ma=
ny=20
howto's, etc.  Nothing quite seems to follow my experience all the way=20
through.  (K)ubuntu has an inexplicable requirement to compile the lirc=20
modules by hand (I could have stayed with Gentoo if I wanted to complie=20
packages - and might return yet).  But when I follow the instructions, I=20
don't get .ko files, I only get .o files.

I ran make directly in the lirc-modules-source tree and got .ko files then,=
=20
which I copied into place under /lib/modules/... and ran depmod -ae &&=20
update-modules.

Now I can load lirc_dev and lirc_i2c.  dmesg provides this:

[4294798.364000] lirc_dev: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel=20

[4294798.429000] lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin:sample_rate: 10

irw gives nothing.

Am I supposed to point the remote at the pvrusb2 or at my laptop's IrDA por=
t? =20
Neither works.

Can anyone suggest what to do?  Up until now I have been poking the 5 local=
=20
channel frequencies directly into the /sys/class/pvrusb2 registers, and tha=
t=20
works fine.

Thanks,
Bret
