I have this TV card, working quite ok in Gentoo (not as good as in windows btw), however I now want to get the remote control working. I've looked at the other thread and they are either out of date or I don't understand whats being said.(someone says I don't need the lirc kernel patch and some say something else, blah) So can anyone explain to me how I get it working?

| Code: | | LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=leadtek-0010" emerge lirc |
gets everything installed. You will have to run
| Code: | | config-kernel --allow-writable=yes |
First, because lircs gotta write in the kernel sources to build. Just run that again and reset it to "no"
after lirc emerges.
Then "modprobe lirc_gpio" and grab the remote control's file from http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/ (unless, obviously, you have something different to use).
As far as anybody but root having access to the device, that i cannot help you with. I'm stuck at the moment. Maybe something to do with udev.....

And where do I save that remote control file?

sorry. the remote file needs to be saved as /etc/lircd.conf
Also, /etc/init.d/lircd has to be edited apparently.
It should look something like this:
... | Code: |
start() {
ebegin "Starting lircd"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/lircd -- -d /dev/lirc0
|
...
I suppose you could set the LIRC_OPTS variable somewhere instead. Just look at your current file to see the difference.
As for my permissions problem, I think I just need to make a new udev permission b/c every time I reboot I have to "chmod 755 /dev/lirc*"
If/when I check all this I'll try and post back.
