Well I'm ready to throw in the towel. I've tried everything I can think
of. I've enabled every i2c device, tried multiple kernels, unloaded and
reloaded lirc_dev and lirc_i2c ad nauseum, rebuild lirc over and over
(using primarily hauppauge, but tried mceusb and mceusb2 as well), and I
still can't get any lirc device to show up... nothing shows up like
/dev/lirc/0, even though there is a udev rule for any lirc device known
to the kernel, and even though lirc_dev reports it creates a device at
major 61, trying to read from any such device file yields ENODEV.
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61
# mknod /dev/lirc0 c 61 0
# cat /dev/lirc0
cat: /dev/lirc0: No such device
I can watch TV with mythtv or mplayer, and ivtv otherwise works. It's
just that this damn IR Blaster i2c-based remote is completely undetectable.
I suppose I'd have to test this on a windoze machine to know for sure
that it's dead... I'm not sure Ascent will take it back just because I'm
having Linux problems with it.
ivtv gives me this output (the "failed to load module" bits are because
I have them compiled into the kernel now).

I am experiencing other oddities with this... after ivtv loads, the
cx25840 driver
gives some weird messages:

<pre wrap=""><!---->Sounds like you might need to force the tuner settings. I'm surprised
you managed to pick up the older non MCE unit that comes with the remote
as they are hard to find these days.
Are you forcing any ivtv settings when the modules load?
