30 Thank you for your reply. Here is the relevant part of dmesg:
31
32 lirc_dev: Unknown symbol class_simple_device_add
33 lirc_dev: Unknown symbol class_simple_destroy
34 lirc_dev: Unknown symbol class_simple_device_remove
35 lirc_dev: Unknown symbol class_simple_create
36 lirc_i2c: Unknown symbol lirc_unregister_plugin
37 lirc_i2c: Unknown symbol lirc_register_plugin
38
39 I think I have i2c support in the kernel via module. This is my lsmod
40 output:
41
42 mythtv@tv ~ $ lsmod | grep i2c
43 i2c_nforce2 6560 0
44 i2c_algo_bit 9448 1 ivtv
45 i2c_core 20976 7
46 i2c_nforce2,tda9887,msp3400,saa7115,tuner,tveeprom,i2c_algo_bit
47
48 I'm using the receiver that comes with the Hauppauge PVR-250 card. I
49 have this line in /etc/make.conf:
50
51 # From http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Setup_MythTV
52 LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=hauppauge"
53
54 From something I read last spring when I first setup the box, I have
55 /etc/modules.d/lirc with these lines:
56
57 alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
58 add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c
59
60 And I have rebuilt lirc against the new kernel. Any ideas?
61
62 Thanks for your help!
