Comment 12 for bug 279472

I have managed to solve the problem

I needed to edit the FDI for Lirc:

/usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty/lirc.fdi
[code]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
     <match key="info.product" contains_ncase="saa7134 ir">
        <merge key="info.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
     </match>
     <match key="info.product" contains_ncase="bttv IR">
        <merge key="info.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
     </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

[/code]

Please note that the in order to find which IR device you should use, you must type
[code]
[code]
lshal | grep IR
[/code]
input.product = 'bttv IR (card=139)' (string)
Note --> <match key="info.product" contains_ncase="bttv IR">

I think that this should be further reviewed and a patch should be supplied for this problem.

I used a second IR device which is the streamzap, which worked out of the box. :)
I hope we can do the same for the BTTV Device

I will include some info for your information about the exact card i have:
