I'm running Gentoo Linux with a 2.4.20-gentoo-r6 kernel. I got this
Hauppauge WinTV Primio TV-Card with integrated IR-Control and I
installed the latest Lirc Package from www.lirc.org . The
documentation says that the lirc_gpio module has to be loaded to be
able to use the IR Control, but I can't get this module to load. I use
the original bttv module from the kernel which works perfectly, and
I've I2C enabled.
First I load this bttv module, which gives


bttv: driver version 0.7.106 loaded
bttv: using 4 buffers with 2080k (8320k total) for capture
bttv: Host bridge is VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8366/A/7 [Apollo

bttv0: detected: Hauppauge WinTV [card=10], PCI subsystem ID is

bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 .. ok

bttv0: registered device vbi0


and then I load lirc_dev and lirc_i2c which seems to be ok:


lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61
lirc_i2c: chip found @ 0x18 (Hauppauge IR)
tuner: type already set (5)


Then trying to load lirc_gpio returns this:


lirc_gpio (-1): card type 0xa, id 0x13eb0070
lirc_gpio (-1): TV card type a not supported!


So, I think, the card is supported but how can I get it to work? I
tried some module parameters but that didn't help. 'mode2' just
returns that
'This program is only intended for receivers supporting the
pulse/space layer.
Note that this is no error, but this program simply makes no sense for
your
receiver.' which doesn't really help.

Any Ideas?

thanks!
