This isn't really a mythtv specific question, but I don't know of many other places to look. I just got a Streamzap USB IR receiver, and I can't seem to figure out how to use it.<br><br>My problem is that I can't get a /dev entry for it. I think there's supposed to be a /dev/usb/hiddev0 that is used to interface with the device, but that file is not there, and I can't figure out how to get it there. Everywhere I've searched says that I just need to enable the "/dev/hiddevX support" kernel option and then everything will work. Well, after doing that, the device still doesn't show up anywhere in /dev. I can see the device being detected in dmesg whenever I remove or plug in the device. The device shows up in /proc/bus/usb/devices, lsusb, and usbview, but usbview shows it in red, which, according to one site, means that there is "no driver bound to it". How would I fix this?
<br><br>I think I've also read somewhere that I should be using "hotplug", which I guess refers to the hotplug package. However, if I try to install it, apt forces me to remove udev. Do I want to do this?<br>
<br>I'm running Debian Etch, kernel 2.6.20.<br><br>
