KerbyServer

I just upgraded my Ubuntu MythTV system from Edgy to Feisty. The MythTV components seem to work fine, but the video out on the ATI card and the remote control do not work properly.

It should be somewhat straightforward to get this system running properly again. I'll try to document the steps here for posterity...

UPDATE:

ATI TV Output Instructions
To get TV Out on my Radeon 7000 VE card working again, I did the following (based on instructions from http://www.matijs.net/blog/articles/2007/06/21/how-to-compile-tv-output-...):
cd ~
mkdir atidrivers
cd atidrivers
apt-get source xserver-xorg-video-ati
wget http://www.matijs.net/software/theater_out/xorg7-6.6.3-tv_output.patch
sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-ati
cd xserver-xorg-video-ati-6.6.3
fakeroot ./debian/rules prepare
cp ../xorg7-6.6.3-tv_output.patch patches/200_tv_output.diff
echo 200_tv_output.diff >> patches/series
fakeroot ./debian/rules patch
fakeroot ./debian/rules autoreconf
fakeroot ./debian/rules clean
fakeroot ./debian/rules binary
cd ../
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.6.3-2ubuntu6_i386.deb

After pressing ctrl+alt+backspace to restart the xserver, tv output again worked properly. For what it's worth, I attached my current, functional xorg.conf file to this post.

lirc Instructions (for the IR receiver on a Hauppauge PVR 150 and the included remote)
I needed to recompile the kernel modules for lirc, so I ran the following (based on instructions from http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_lirc_install):
sudo apt-get install lirc lirc-modules-source module-assistant
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source
When the lirc-modules-source configuration appears, select only to build the i2c drivers. Also be sure to not select to automatically build the modules.
sudo vim /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
Make sure LOAD_MODULES is =true. Also, add your module to the line that is MODULES="". In my case, this is lirc_i2c...so MODULES="lirc_i2c". Save the file if needed.
sudo m-a update,prepare
sudo rm /usr/src/lirc*deb
sudo m-a clean lirc
sudo m-a a-i lirc
sudo depmod -a

Since my lircd.conf file is still intact from before the upgrade, I do not need to alter it. I attached that file to this post as well. Note that the file is not perfect...most buttons work, but some fiddling could improve the remote's usability.

Continuing:
sudo modprobe lirc_i2c
sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart


That does it! The ATI card and IR remote receiver now work again :)
