Title:
  MCC generates bad hardware.conf (lirc) using Hauppauge HVR-1100

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This maybe is a duplicate of Bug #349644! But because I'm using
  Mythbuntu 9.04, my IR receiver is listed within
  /proc/bus/input/devices. I'm just facing a different issue ...

  I'm using a Hauppauge HVR-1100 TV card with the shipped remote (45
  buttons, grey-black), the shipped IR receiver connected via this TV
  card.

  Only a few buttons of this remote work, although I selected the right
  remote in MCC and it generated appropriate lirc configuration files
  for it.

  The problem is, MCC generates a buggy hardware.conf. It looks like
  this:

  # /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
  #
  #Chosen Remote Control
  REMOTE="Hauppauge HVR-1100"
  REMOTE_MODULES="devinput"
  REMOTE_DRIVER=""
  REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
  REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge"
  REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

  #Chosen IR Transmitter
  TRANSMITTER="None"
  TRANSMITTER_MODULES=""
  TRANSMITTER_DRIVER=""
  TRANSMITTER_DEVICE=""
  TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF=""
  TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""

  #Enable lircd
  START_LIRCD="true"

  #Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
  #START_LIRCMD="false"

  #Try to load appropriate kernel modules
  LOAD_MODULES="true"

  # Default configuration files for your hardware if any
  LIRCMD_CONF=""

  #Forcing noninteractive reconfiguration
  #If lirc is to be reconfigured by an external application
  #that doesn't have a debconf frontend available, the noninteractive
  #frontend can be invoked and set to parse REMOTE and TRANSMITTER
  #It will then populate all other variables without any user input
  #If you would like to configure lirc via standard methods, be sure
  #to leave this set to "false"
  FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"
  START_LIRCMD=""


  
  With this config file, some buttons don't workm e.g. the Stop button on the remote. The first paragraph has to look like this:

  # /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
  #
  #Chosen Remote Control
  REMOTE="Hauppauge HVR-1100"
  REMOTE_MODULES=""
  REMOTE_DRIVER="dev/input"
  REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/input/event6"
  REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge"
  REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

  (Please note the differences in REMOTE_MODULES, REMOTE_DRIVER and
  REMOTE_DEVICE. Of course, the path in REMOTE_DEVICE has to be adopted
  to users' current setup. It can be determined by calling "cat
  /proc/bus/input/devices". As mentioned, in contrast to Bug #349644, no
  modules have to be loaded when using Mythbuntu 9.04. The device is
  listed out-of-the-box if selected in MCC!)

  This should be fixed, as I spent a lot of time to get my remote
  finally working.
