Problem with the installation of Hauppauge nova-t-500
« on: December 04, 2007, 05:13:37 pm »
Hello. THis is my first time I tryout Linux.

And I got some problems with some settings for my Hauppauge nova-t-500.
I have downloaded the DVD installation of LinuxMCE (0710) with kubuntu pre-installed.
I have followed this guide: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV_Nova-T_500_PCI#Installing
To install the driver and I have made it so far that the card is found in warm state wich means that it shall work by now?
anyway i continue to follow the guide and then it starts ask about the remote control
and the guide says like this:
Grey top, black bottom, 45 buttons, snowboard shape.

It gives output into
Code: [Select]
/dev/input/eventXwhere X is variable and depends on your system.

How do I know what number I shall use? when I browse /dev/input I see like 7 of those event (event0, event1, event2, event3, etc, etc)
So how do I know wichone to choose? Would be really glad for some help so I can continue...

Best regards Lehto

If you type 'cat eventX' on the command line and then press some buttons on the remote then the one that prints out a bunch of junk is the right one.

I doubt that you will get the remote to work with linuxMCE though at the moment as the code looks for /dev/lirc and
