I am using Ubuntu to run a MythTV setup on a ShuttlePC, and I would really like to get the remote on my Hauppage TV Card to work, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to work with Unbuntu.

It would be nice if I could just install lirc and have it take care of the kernel modules itself. I am a gentoo user normally, but using Unbuntu I set up MythTV in less than 10 hours (maybe you have to be a gentoo user to appreciate this ) I would normally just recompile the kernel with appropriate modules, but I am unfamiliar with how the .deb system etc. works.

Has anyone gotten lirc to work with ubuntu that could post a quick howto?
