Hi All,

I have a PC running the master backend and I watch tv through the frontend on an old Dell Inspiron 4000 I had around.

Everything works great apart from the remote, which is a Hauppauge grey.

I was hoping this would work with the built-in receiver, set-up in the bios to ttyS1.

After default KnoppMyth installation (which is brill btw) and selecting the grey remote, the remote does not work.

I remember in the bad-old-days of FC3 trying to get another remote to work by testing the connection with irw but this requires a device parameter, I've tried every tty and /dev/lirc - connection refused.

lircd is running:



lsmod has



I loaded lirc_sir using modprobe after a search of google for help. A website
http://www.tuxmobil.org/ir_misc.html suggested that the sir driver works.

Could it be that the grey remote does not work with serial ir or that the laptop only supports fast ir in the bios?

Please help.

Thanks,
Tim
