hi i have a tvtuner card type 70 ( pixelview_pro )
i have emerged lirc with
| Quote: |
LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=pixelview_pro" emerge lirc
|
i have started /etc/init.d/lircd
and morprobed lirc_dev , lirc_i2c , lirc_gpio
and from dmesg

and some info about devices registered

ihave changed the /etc/conf.d/lircd file as told in the howtos
and i have LIRCD_OPTS="--with-driver=pixelview_pro" in make conf also
| Quote: |
# Options to pass to the lircd process
LIRCD_OPTS="-d /dev/lirc/0"
|
and i could not record anything with irw or irrecord
ii have also tried this; in the lirc.org manual it says;

lirc_gpio
This module receives scan codes from the GPIO register of bt8[47]8 chips using polling or interrupts if the card supports this. It is a "plugin" for the lirc_dev module. It loads bttv and lirc_dev modules if they are not loaded yet.
The following gives a list of parameters for the module. If your TV card is already listed as supported than you don't need to care about parameters except debug and card because all other are set to the correct values automatically. Setting the values manually only makes sense while adding support for a new TV card so that you don't have to recompile the module each time you try a different value.
* debug (0) - value other than 0 (zero) enables printing more log messages
* card (0) - number of TV card from which receive scan codes
* minor (-1) - minor device number for /dev/lirc device
* gpio_mask (0) - bit mask used for extracting usable bits from GPIO value
If this parameter is equal to 0 then the module tries to autodetect the TV card and the remaining parameters are ignored.
* gpio_lock_mask (0) - if this value "anded" with GPIO value is non zero than it indicates that scan code is not ready (value of 0 of this parameter disables checking)
* gpio_xor_mask (0) - bitmask applied (by xor operation) to GPIO value before lock_mask is checked
* soft_gap (0) - minimal gap (in milliseconds) between two scan codes (value of 0 disables checking)
* sample_rate (10) - how often (times per second) GPIO will be polled, set to 0 for interrupt driven input
* bttv_id (unknown) - force given bttv id, signals from some cards are translated to match original codes
Usage example would be e.g:
modprobe lirc_gpio gpio_mask=0x1f00 gpio_lock_mask=0x8000 gpio_xor_mask=0 soft_gap=400 sample_rate=12
Autodetection is performed using the API from the bttv module - this means that if bttv doesn't properly recognize the card type the remote control won't work.

and here i have my btspy report from windows with everything working

so i have tried something stupid like this ( stupid becouse i think the values dont match )
| Quote: |
rmmod lirc_gpio
modprobe lirc_gpio gpio_mask=0x00006f gpio_lock_mask=0x000028 gpio_xor_mask=0 soft_gap=400 sample_rate=12
|
and after in dmesg
| Quote: |
lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin:sample_rate: 12
lirc_gpio (0): driver registered
|
and i still have /dev/lirc/0
and when i try irrecord
| Quote: |
irrecord -d /dev/lirc/0 /etc/lircd.conf
|
it says
| Quote: |
Press RETURN to continue.
Hold down an arbitrary button.
irrecord: gap not found, can't continue
|
as i hold down my channel up or channel down or power
i think i deserve some help here! 
at last my info
