Hi
I'm trying to get my remote control working in FC8 on a laptop (CLEVO D900T) which has a AverMedia card,
lspci shows:
0a:04.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d1)
The boot log in message file lists:
Dec 7 01:59:27 laptop kernel: saa7133[0]: subsystem: 1461:f31e, board: Avermedia M102 [card=110,autodetected]
(but does not seem to list an entry for the IR device).
The lirc website (http://www.lirc.org/html/table.html) says it supports my IR control (AverMedia) which all seem use the
lirc_gpio kernel module which does not seem to be part of FC8 kernel ?, because this modules does not load/exist, the
/dev/lirc device does not exist ? and hence the remote control does not work.
Is there a reason this module is not in the kernel or is there some other solution ?
Additional info:
=================
Picture of remote:

The remote control is tested and does work because it's power button can turn on/off the laptop (by magic I assume),
however all other buttons are ignore because of the above mentioned issue I assume.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
TIA.
Albert.
