LIRC/IVTV help!

[The General]

I am in dire need of help setting up LIRC and IVTV

Here's my setup:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
DFI LanParty SLI-DR
2048 Mb OCZ Platinum
eVGA Geforce 7800GT 256 Mb
Audigy 2 ZS Platinum
Haupagge WinTV PVR-150 WMC Edition
Memorex DVD+/-RW 16X Dual Layer
300 Gb Seagate 7800rpm IDE (4gb swap / 296gb as root)
2 x 250 Gb = /home via LVM

Debian unstable / gnome 2.12
Kernel 2.6.15-1-k7-smp (decided not to go for amd64/k8 because i was having problems with it)

I tried apt-getting lirc, but i couldn't get it to work, so i was like whatever i'll build from source, but before that i was reading this how to: http://www.develia.org/documents.php?l=2&f=1&p=lirclivedrive#lirclivedrive2

it was very helpful, i actually got it to work last night, but somehow i broke it today.

what i did was this

i added "options snd-emu10k1 enable_ir=1" to my /etc/modules.conf
the how to says to add it to /etc/modprobe.conf, but that doesnt exsist in debian, its /etc/modules.conf

then i did

# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-static --with-driver=livedrive_midi --with-major=61 --with-port=none --with-irq=none --with-x

# make && make install

# chmod 666 /dev/lircd

then i added the config file from http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/creative
the rm-1500 one, thats what remote i have

then i started the daemon
# /usr/sbin/lircd -H livedrive_midi -d /dev/snd/midiC0D1

ran irw and pressed buttons on the remote and it worked. all of the buttons were bound to the right commands.

then when i restarted my computer, it didnt work. i checked /etc/modules.conf and the option i added wasnt there anymore... and so far i can't seem to get it to stay... every time i restart its gone. how do i get it to stay?

currently it does not work... if anyone knows anything about lirc pm me or post on the the thread, im gunna need some help..

that and with ivtv. i need those drivers for my tv tuner card so i can use it with tvtime or ptune-ui or mythtv or whatever, i just wanna be able to use my tv tuner card

thanks

 

[horndude]

what chipset does the tv card have?

 

[The General]

i dunno, its the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 MCE (Model 1062)

 

[horndude]

well, take a look at the top of it and see, or do lspci in a terminal as root and see what it says, cause if its unsupporterd it isnt gonna freakin work

V4L or video for linux which is part of the linux kernel supports a few of the popular ones quite well, chances are if its supported the kernel already has recognized it and loaded the kernel modules for it, check that with lsmod

the ivtv one was after i installed the ivtv drivers, but i may have done that incorrectly.

 

[horndude]

the ivtv drivers should work according to linuxquestions.org posts I just searched

 

[The General]

yeah, i think i need to install the firmware or something
