[H-GEN] LIRC and TV Card Remotes

[James Mills]

Hi All,

I'm James, a fairly recent member of HubBug, this is my first posting to
any of the mailing lists ;)

I have a problem I'd like some help on, I haven't been able to solve it
for a few months now.

Summary: Unable to get my TV Card Remote to work ...

TV Card Type:
00:0d.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11)
00:0d.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11)
bttv type=41

Everything thus far is configured ok, ie: The radio and tv both work
okay (the tv would work if I had a decent Antenna).

When I configure lirc with dpkg-reconfigure lirc, Selecting "5 TV Card",
and "AverMedia TV Card (TVCapture98, TVPhone98) (card=13/41)" I get the
following message from lirc:

Setting up modutils file
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
#####################################################
## I couldn't load the required kernel modules     ##
## You should install lirc-modules-source to build ##
## kernel support for your hardware.               ##
#####################################################
## If this message is not appropriate you may set  ##
## LOAD_MODULES=false in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf   ##
#####################################################
Starting lirc daemon:.

And the following message from /var/log/messages

Mar  1 00:05:03 daisy kernel: lirc_gpio (-1): card type 0x29, id 0x0 
Mar  1 00:05:03 daisy kernel: lirc_gpio (-1): TV card type 29 not supported! 

I would greatly appreciate any help!

cheers
James

-You need only two tools. WD-40 and duct tape.
-If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40.
-If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.
