[linux-dvb] help with dvico usb remote on gentoo

[allan k]

Hi All 

While I'm waiting for help with the dvico dual express. I have been
trying to get the dvico usb remote working on gentoo. 

I've followed the couple of how-tos for gentoo and lirc and come up with
the same problem every time. 

I get stuck where it asks to load the module...... 

After running emerge lirc, I find there is no lirc_dvico module, as all
the instructions mention. as such I don't end up with an lirc device in
my /dev/ directory. 

I tried issuing the config-kernel --allow-writeable=yes but my system
has no such command and I can't find which package it belongs to. 

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something simple, so any advice will be
appreciated. 

cheers

Allan
