First of all I am a relative newbie to Knoppmyth. I tried it a year ago and could never get my GeForce 6200 to work well with my HDTV. Tried and used another distro for about 1 year with good luck.

Really wanted to upgrade to 0.20 myth, so I tried to upgrade with the other distros latest version and ran into trouble.

Anyway, I am new to KnoppMyth and still a greenie when it comes to Linux.

Did an auto install of R5E50 on my system that was still working on old distro, using new harddrive. Install went fine, except I never saw the request to pick my remote control. Remote didn't work, so I started digging around. Saw all the posts and tried them. Installed again for the heck of it. Again, didn't see any request for remote type again.

The main post I saw, which refers back to the known changes list, was to change my /etc/lirc/hardware.conf to point to /dev/lirc0, instead of /dev/lirc. I re-ran lirc-reconfig.sh, then rebooted. No luck.

I tried this several times and looked to see if /dev/lirc0 showed up. After a reconfig it was there, until I rebooted, when it disappeared.

I think I have done everything I have found on the posts. I am frustrated and am looking for a solution.

Run lirc-reconf.sh first. Then fix the hardware.conf file. Then reboot. I need to update the hints posting.

I will try this tonight. However, since I have already fixed the hardware.conf file and it seems to not change after lirc.reconfig.sh is done, I would think all the other times I ran lirc-reconfig.sh after I modified the hardware.conf file would have duplicated what you suggested?

Is there something to modifying the hardware.conf after running lirc-reconfig.sh, even if I don't change anything that matters?

Maybe I am not modifying my hardware.conf properly. I did the following.
Code:
DEVICES = "/dev/lirc0"
MODULES = "lirc_dev lirc_i2c"


Is this sufficient?

Shouldn't be. When you modprobe those drivers does the device (/dev/lirc0) show up?

modprobe lirc_i2c when executed will produce /dev/lirc0. It isn't there until I do the modprobe.

However, no luck on anything still working. Here is my whole /etc/lirc/hardware.conf file. Is this okay?

Code:
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
#START_LIRCMD=false

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES=true

# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER="default"
# If DEVICE is set to /dev/lirc and devfs is in use /dev/lirc/0 will be
# automatically used instead
DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_i2c"

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCD_CONF=""
LIRCMD_CONF=""


I appreciate your patient with my ignorance and especially your time.

Did you restart the lircd daemon after the modprobe? Also, did you try running irw to see if it will detect the button presses?

OBTW - Check the daemon logs to see if lircd is being started...
