I have a HVR-1950 which looks exactly like the HVR-1900. (Stupified, I can't see a difference!) Using Gentoo: $ uname -a Linux localhost2.local 3.1.10-gentoo-r1 #3 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 23 08:49:39 AKDT 2012 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) GenuineIntel GNU/Linux $ eix -s lirc app-misc/inputlircd-0.0.1_pre11 app-misc/lirc-0.9.0 "X kernel_linux lirc_devices_devinput" (I think inputlircd, which is used for the /dev/input/event* interface, is pulled in by lirc -- but am not sure.) $ cat /etc/make.conf |grep LIRC LIRC_DEVICES="devinput" File: /etc/conf.d/lircd LIRCD_OPTS="-H devinput -d name=*HVR-1950*" And, last but not least, /etc/lirc/lircd.conf contains three(?) (hauppauge?) remote control button configuration layouts. I delete the two which aren't used here possibly saving some system resources when the file is read into memory. (You need to use /usr/bin/irw to figure-out which remote button layout is used by distinguishing the button labels printed to stdout compared to those listed within the /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.) For configuring the IR remote control to work with specif applications (linking remote control buttons to application specific actions such as MPlayer, Xine, ...), create use the lircrc file (/etc/lirc/lircrc or I use $HOME/.lircrc so it can be configured as user instead of logging in as root). If I'm not mistaken, the changes to lircrc are now real time and do not require lirc service to be restarted! Also, only the lircd service needs to be started and you can omit starting the lircmd service. Grep the mailing list here as I think I posted how I initially setup my lirce w/ HVR-1950 here. I'm not sure how I figured-out my stuff, but did do some minimal tinkering and playing with command line tools to get things working. Lirc, including Windows IR, is a pain, but once I got it working a year ago, it's yet to fail. Not like my old 29032 pvrusb2 remote which plagued me with IR problems. Also, the pvrusb and lirc driver seem to be loading and unloading just fine on plug/unplug -- again, unlike my old 29032 pvrusb2 device. If you want my lircd.conf and lircrc, just send me a direct email request if you can. They're short, but I don't know if Mike would care for the additional text here. -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/ _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
