Hi, Yesterday I installed opensuse 10.3 w/KDE. I am loving it. I do have some areas that I don't have configured correctly, and and hoping for some direction. Today I am concentrating on the issue of lirc.
I have a Phillips ehome remote, branded as the Media Center Edition (mce_usb2). I have spent some time looking at the lirc webpage and various other places, but I'm stumped. Basically, my remote doesn't work. I can point it at the receiver and an led will light up in response, but it won't work otherwise. (I've tried to get it to open kdetv, but it doesn't work) I've gathered as much information as I could find, but I won't be surprised if it's not enough. During the initial setup and configuration, I went into the expert settings of my video capture card. After finishing that page, it asked if I wanted to use my sound card for the video output, took me to a page for that, and then took me to a page that asked if I wanted to enable IR, which I answered yes. It asked if I wanted to install lirc, and I said yes, and then it when through its process without any interaction from me. When that finished, a button was visible that said 'test.' I clicked on that button, and a small window opened with a message that said to test the remote. I pressed all of the buttons on the remote, but nothing appeared in the window. No opportunity was given to make any configuration changes, except, on the page that was visible behind the test window, there was a drop-down box with two choices, something like ir-kbd (default) and ir-gpio (only other choice). I switched to ir-gpio and pressed the test button again, but I got a message that lirc couldn't be started. Details said that lirc hadn't been configured for gpio.
