I followed the Gentoo LIRC wiki page, supplemented by the MythTV LIRC wiki page. I have a "Windows MCE" remote that came with my old Hauppauge USB WinTV receiver, which uses the "mceusb2" driver. So, the procedure for Gentoo is:
- add
LIRC_DEVICES="mceusb2"to/etc/make.conf. -
emerge lirc -
modprobe lirc_mceusb2 -
sudo echo lirc_mceusb2 >> /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6
It worked after following these steps, although it wasn't very clear from the Gentoo wiki page that I would need to load a kernel module (the way I read it was that this was only needed in certain special circumstances).
[Edit: removed bitching about it not "just working"...getting old, Dr. Harris!]
