Problem with the installation of Hauppauge nova-t-500

[Lehto]

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

I assume you mean lmce-0704 DVD install ;-)

0710 has not been released yet!

[Lehto]

[rrambo]

that attitude will get you absolutely no where

[Lehto]

well I know what I actually mean is that I don't care about the controller I just want to get the TV to work

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
