If you send your dmesg log here please, your lsinput output. I can help if you wish.

It's quite easy to add remote support as long as the actual remote driver is support in the kernel driver.

Hi,
I am a newbie to launchpad and not a programmer.
I have a Nebula digitv PCI card.
I have found that the card is supported under Ubuntu Feisty Fawn.
I have got it working with Kaffeine/xine and get the UK DVB Freeview
channels (without the remote).
I have been working at getting my remote to work. Hence my trying to configure Mythbuntu and creating the bug report.
The IR receiver attaches via a cable to the digitv PCI card.
I have found that a patch is required to get the card supported see the following: http://marc.info/?l=linux-video&m=113735813926708&w=2

Two different remotes are mentioned in the write-up hence the need for the parameter. I have the earlier remote.
This is a far as I have got not being a programmer and therefore not created a lircd.conf

I hope this helps solve my bug

Thanks
