help with dvico usb remote on gentoo

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

Hi,

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
