Didn't really know where to ask this question and since ivtv and lirc are
closely aligned, I thought I would start here.

Running Ubuntu Edgy
Linux 2.6.18.2-custom #1 SMP Sat Nov 18 11:01:27 EST 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am using ivtv 0.8.1 pre_release.

My tuners are working great, I can watch television.
The sound is wrong, it is very low and has a high whistle, but I will get to
that eventually.

Hauppauge pvr-500 with the Samsung tuners.

Trying to get lirc to work, I followed this howto:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/LIRC_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_Eft


In a nutshell it is these commands:
 apt-get install ncurses-dev lirc
 wget http://lirc.sourceforge.net/software/snapshots/lirc-0.8.1pre2.tar.bz2
 tar -xjvf lirc-0.8.1pre2.tar.bz2 -C /usr/src
 cd /usr/src/lirc-0.8.1pre2
 ./configure

and select 1: Driver Configuration -> 5: TV Card -> g: Hauppauge TV card.
Scroll down to 3: Save configuration & run configure and wait for configure
to finish building the makefiles. Once that's done, do

 make
 sudo make install
 depmod -a
 ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
 lirc_dev.ko  lirc_i2c.ko

Load the driver module into the kernel and make sure it sees your IR
hardware.

 sudo modprobe lirc_i2c
 dmesg | tail

I get this output:
[   44.670400] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61 
[   44.681445] lirc_i2c: no version for "lirc_unregister_plugin" found:
kernel tainted.

Instead of this output:
On a Hauppauge 150, the output looks like this:

 lirc_i2c: chip found @ 0x71 (Hauppauge IR (PVR150))
 ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=Hauppauge IR (PVR150), addr=71]
 lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 10



I am not sure if this might be a kernel thing, since the howto was made for
2.6.17.

The REAME and INSTALL didn't get me any further.
Suggestions on google didn't get me any where, they did mention using lsusb:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/lirc-0.8.1pre2# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0609:031d SMK Manufacturing, Inc. 
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  


Thanks for any help.

Dave
