Hi Lance,
I got it running (ivtv + lirc + alsa) starting from the gentoo-dev
sources. The problem was that the sources were without any lirc support
(I think there was no ir code in there at all). Via google, I found a
lirc patch from a website that was put together for 2.6.1. With that
installed the lirc related config options showed up.
You have to make the right .config, build and boot it, and then emerge
alsa-driver, ivtv, and lirc. The last gotcha is that the lirc emerge
needs an environment variable to tell it to build in support for the
hauppague cards. The line you need is in the lirc ebuild final message.
After all that, under 2.6 the myth program guide consistently
segfaulted. That is apparently a nptl issue that would require
rebuilding libc and kde, so for now the box is running happily on 2.4.26
(a much easier build).
