Hauppauge PVR-150 infrared and lirc

[mvsjes2]

I've spent a couple of days trying to get my infrared remote control working for my hauppauge PVR-150. I'm a relative newby to linux.

From what I can see, the Kubuntu Dapper kernel isn't recognizing the IR input at boot-up:
sh-3.1$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=ab41
N: Name="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio0/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input0
H: Handlers=kbd event0
B: EV=120013
B: KEY=4 2000000 3802078 f840d001 f2ffffdf ffefffff ffffffff fffffffe
B: MSC=10
B: LED=7

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0006 Version=0000
N: Name="ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input1
H: Handlers=mouse0 event1 ts0
B: EV=7
B: KEY=1f0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=103

I: Bus=0010 Vendor=001f Product=0001 Version=0100
N: Name="PC Speaker"
P: Phys=isa0061/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input2
H: Handlers=kbd event2
B: EV=40001
B: SND=6

I don't see any Hauppauge there. It does recognize the capture portion of the card since I successfully installed ivtv and myth and got all that working. It's just the dern remote.

All the how-to's simply assume the IR was detected and shows up in the above display. They say support for this input was installed in the kernel in 2.6.12. They don't explain what to do if it's not detected.

Do I have to enable something in the kernel for it to detect the device? Should it have shown up in the above display on a regular Dapper install? Can someone point me in the right direction?

Using Kubuntu 6.06 kernel 2.6.15-27-386.

Thanks!
