hiddev devices missing -- SOLVED
I'm trying to put together a mythtv box, and I just got my IR receiver today - the Streamzap from thinkgeek. It needs to use the /dev/usb/hiddevX device in order to work, but the device doesn't show up. The only device in /dev/usb is lp0 for my printer. I just rebuilt my kernel to include "/dev/hiddev raw HID device support", but still no luck.
I'm running Debian Etch on kernel 2.6.20. I would think that the device would be automatically created, but apparently that's not the case, and I don't know how to create it manually.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: I should also mention that in the usbview utility, my printer and the streamzap both show up, but the streamzap is in red. I don't know what that means, but it's probably bad!
