I'm trying to build a Mythtv system, based on OpenSUSE 10.3. I've got almost everything installed and working, and am now trying, so far unsuccessfully, to get the remote control configured.
My remote control is that supplied with a Hauppauge PVR-150. (Grey, not serial, not USB, with the 4 colored buttons arranged in a row at the bottom, not arranged around the 'OK' button near the top.)
According to YAST lirc is installed. During my troubleshooting, I returned to YAST, and installed the 4 lirc kernel modules: default, bigsmp, xen, and xenpae. I was pretty sure I didn't need any other than 'default', but selected all of them in case I was wrong. Of course, that resulted in adding all of the additional kernels to my system & boot menu as well, but I can always either tolerate that or remove the others later, I assume.
Keep only the default kernel and kernel module. You can safely delete all the other flavors, they won't be used.
Secondly, I found an online how-to for installing Mythtv to Suse 10.0 that advises removing the lirc packaged with Suse, and compiling/installing lirc from source. I'm using 10.3, & I don't know whether or not the advice holds for me. Deciding to give it a shot
I don't think that's necessary. I have mythtv under 10.2 and the same remote and it works with the stock lirc package (lirc-0.8.0-41).
I'm nearly ready to give up, reformat, and try again from scratch, but I'm hoping to avoid that.
If you are going to reformat, I would suggest installing 10.2 That works for me, at least. I have also tried 10.3 but couldn't find a working X driver for my PVR-350. I didn't get as far as trying the remote, so I can't help with that, unfortunately. I'm not going to try upgrading anytime soon, I'm happy with how things work under 10.2. I prefer stability with my myth box. Tom -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
