Post subject:  Leadtek Y0400052 remote and lirc driving me nuts

I installed Knoppmyth R5A30.2 and the installation went well. I then added a Leadtek WinFast TV2000XP tuner card. I still need to set up the tuner (I'll do that later when I have all my marbles again)
I first wanted to get the remote working (Y0400052).
I found a number of sites that give information on this remote, but nothing seems to work.

This is what dmesg says:
--<snip>--
bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:00:09.0, irq: 20, latency: 32, mmio: 0xfa000000
bttv0: detected: Leadtek TV 2000 XP [card=34], PCI subsystem ID is 107d:6609
bttv0: using: Leadtek WinFast 2000/ WinFast 2000 XP [card=34,autodetected]
bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=003ff19c [init]
tveeprom: Encountered bad packet header [ff]. Corrupt or not a Hauppauge eeprom.
bttv0: using tuner=5
--<snip>--

It seems that it tries to load a gpio module or something, but it fails.

One site suggested that I use the ir-kbd-gpio and this is what I get in dmesg:
--<snip>--
ir-kbd-gpio: bttv IR (card=34) detected at pci-0000:00:09.0/ir0
--<snip>--
THe remote works with this module, but only 4 of the number keys work (2=down, 8=up, 4=left, 6=right).
It does not matter which lirc config I use, those are the only keys that do something and that is the only thing they do.

Then I followed other advice and un-installed lirc and compiled and installed lirc-0.7.0. But when I try to load the lirc_gpio module, I get a number of failures.
--<snip>--
modprobe lirc_gpio
WARNING: Error inserting lirc_dev (/lib/modules/2.6.13.2-chw-3/misc/lirc_dev.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
FATAL: Error inserting lirc_gpio (/lib/modules/2.6.13.2-chw-3/misc/lirc_gpio.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
--<snip>--

Then I tried to re-install the lirc package (lirc_0.7.2-2_i386.deb) that comes with Knoppmyth, but now when I try to start lirc, it says that there are no drivers.
--<snip>--
# /etc/init.d/lirc start
Starting lirc daemon: lircdDriver `default' not supported.
Supported drivers:
null
--<snip>--

If I try to compile the lirc modules from package lirc-modules-source, then it fails when compiling lirc_gpio.

So, now I have a broken lirc and a remote that insist on only usig 4 keys.

Any Idea how I can get the remote to work correctly?

Thanks

Not exactly sure about the remote model, but I had the remote that came with Leadtek Winfast TV2000XP (gave it to friend) who is currently using with R5A30.2.

Here is a howto on getting it setup. Start at step 9 for remote.

Check out pic link that explains what buttons do what.

The lirc_gpio in R5B7 should work. I have B6 on my machine that has the winfast2000 and it works just fine, though the reconfigure script never worked for me. I had to manually copy over my lircrc and lircd.conf files that I keep saved. (I would post them, but mine are woefully incomplete, but work for my needs.)

This was the first page that I tried, but it did not work. :cry:

I'll upgrade to R5B7 as Xsecrets suggest. Just need to get the download started.

Thanks
Andre

well it worked for me in the R5A30 timeframe as well. As far as I know the lirc_gpio module has worked since the R4 timeframe.
