Fun with lirc and streamzap...

[vze27w4e]

Finally got a chance to get back to this...  It would be nice to get 
this to work...

Can't seem to get lirc/lircd working on my myth setup.  I cannot seem to 
get my streamzap remote to be seen by irw.
The contents of /etc/sysconfig/lirc is:

    # Note: in addition to these parameters, you need to have working   
    -*- sh -*-
    # configuration file for lircd (and lircmd if enabled).

    # Options to lircd(8).  Typically, at least a remote controller driver
    # ("-H foo") needs to be specified here.  Run "/usr/sbin/lircd -H
    help" to get
    # a listing of supported drivers.
    LIRCD_OPTIONS="-H default"

    # If "yes", the init script will try to start lircmd(8) too.
    ENABLE_LIRCMD="no"

    # Options to lircmd(8).
    LIRCMD_OPTIONS=""

If I run /usr/sbin/lircd -H help I get the following:

    # /usr/sbin/lircd -H help
    Driver `help' not supported.
    Supported drivers:
            alsa_usb
            atilibusb
            audio_alsa
            bte

            uirt2
            uirt2_raw
            usb_uirt_raw

The driver streamzap is not in the list, although lirc.org says it is in 
the distribution.  The conf file for the streamzap is included with the 
version of lirc (0.8.1).

First Question:  Is the line LIRCD_OPTIONS="-H default" correct? 
Streamzap is not in the list above...

In my modprobe.conf file I have the following:

# cat modprobe.conf
alias car-major-61 lirc_streamzap
alias eth0 8139too
alias eth1 e1000
alias scsi_hostadapter ahci
options snd cards_limit=8 
alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1724
options snd-ice1724 index=0 
install lirc_streamzap /sbin/modprobe lirc_streamzap

Second Question:  Is this correct?

I guess we'll take it from there...

TIA
