[linux-dvb] help with dvico usb remote on gentoo

[allan k]

Hi All 

While I'm waiting for help with the dvico dual express. I have been
trying to get the dvico usb remote working on gentoo. 

I've followed the couple of how-tos for gentoo and lirc and come up with
the same problem every time. 

I get stuck where it asks to load the module...... 

After running emerge lirc, I find there is no lirc_dvico module, as all
the instructions mention. as such I don't end up with an lirc device in
my /dev/ directory. 

I tried issuing the config-kernel --allow-writeable=yes but my system
has no such command and I can't find which package it belongs to. 

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something simple, so any advice will be
appreciated. 

cheers

Allan

can you see such an inputdevice in /proc/bus/input/devices?

$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=0000 Product=0000 Version=0000
N: Name="em2880/em2870 remote control"
...
H: Handlers=kbd event5
...

this is the remote control interface of my device (note the event[n] entry)

if something related to the dvico device shows up there then you have
to select the devinput driver in the lirc menu, this doesn't require
any kernelmodule.

/etc/lirc/hardware.conf should contain following lines:
DRIVER="dev/input"  <- this is the devinput driver
DEVICE="/dev/input/event5" (here you have to put your corresponding event[n]

Hope this helps.

Markus
