It sure is.  I have done tonnes of searching, reading, hacking, and have 
spend the last several hours getting my Hauppauge romote working with my 
nexus-s, with lircd.

I'm using drivers vers 1.0.1.

Right, but as far as I can tell the hauppauge.rc5 file bites.  I made 
one called hauppauge_grey.rc5 which I have attached.  Maybe someone 
could commit it.

Lirc CVS supports /dev/input/eventX, in the setup menu you have to 
search really hard (under other - 9) there's an option for 
/dev/input/event devices.  Select that and rebuild / install lirc.

I began my search with that link, and found some others that helped big 
time on the lirc list:

I now get:

Jan 30 22:59:34 tucan lircd 0.7.0pre1: lircd(devinput) ready
Jan 30 23:03:07 tucan lircd 0.7.0pre1: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
Jan 30 23:03:07 tucan lircd 0.7.0pre1: initializing '/dev/input/event0'
Jan 30 23:03:07 tucan lircd 0.7.0pre1: WARNING: can't get exclusive 
access to events comming from `/dev/input/event0' interface

The warning is ok.  BTW, I run lircd with no options (default device) 
therefore it does use /dev/lircd.  Also attached is my lircd.conf for 
this remote (maybe someone wants to commit that).  It is different from 
the one in lirc CVS since it if for an event device.  I left in the 
bits/flags/gap etc stuff because I'm not sure if it needs some of those 
to handle repeat timings and stuff.  Also I think this lircd.conf must 
be used with my hauppauge_grey.rc5 file.  If that is not the case then 
what's the point? :)  Or in that case lircd could be borked but who 
knows, I'm just glad everything is working.

Shameless plug:

I'm a Freevo developer (http://freevo.sf.net) and now my nexus-s remote 
is working for my freevo box - which uses lirc. :)  Not everyone with a 
DVB card uses VDR. :P  Too bad Freevo lacks DVB support but its comming, 
at least to the extent that mplayer, xine, and szap support it.
