Comment 18 for bug 454371

I have the Hauppauge HVR-1600 card with the grey remote (A415-HPG-A) and have also been trying to get it working, without any success so far. I have a mythbuntu 9.10.

$ uname -r
2.6.31-19-generic

After reading this posting, I updated the cx18 drivers (using Jeremy Yoder's post #5). Checking dmesg output looks like the tuner is functional except for the remote. Able to see live video in myth also.

However there is no /dev/lircd0 created, buttons do not get recognized in irw. Since others have gotten it to work earlier, Iam guessing it is something wrong in my setup.

I installed lirc using apt-get, not by compiling from source.
$ sudo apt-get install lirc mythbuntu-lirc-generator lirc-x

Is this ok or do I need to compile and install lirc from source?

My dmesg for lirc
$ dmesg | grep lir
[ 23.347623] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61

I don't know if my /etc/lirc/hardware.conf has any issues as I pieced it from reading several postings online.

$ cat /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
REMOTE="Hauppauge TV card"
REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_i2c"
REMOTE_DRIVER=""
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"

I checked the logs for any known issues in v4l-db mercurial drivers, don't see any issues for 2.6.31* kernel.

I don't have a working hardware.conf to verify against, hoping I have something wrong in that and someone can point it to me. appreciate if someone can post their working hardware.conf.

Please help!
