Using a TBS remote control on Mageia 2 with kernel 3.3 and lirc-0.9.0-3.mga2
To use the remote control that comes with a TBS6280 DVD receiver compile the TBS kernel modules as usual. Contained in them is a module to drive the IR port.
The module should load automatically on booting.

 From dmesg
[    5.665977] Registered IR keymap rc-tbs-nec
[    5.666309] input: saa716x IR (TurboSight TBS 6280) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.0/0000:05:00.0/0000:06:05.0/0000:0b:00.0/rc/rc0/input3

Setting up Lirc
---------------

Install ir-keytable and irw packages

#  ir-keytable
Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event3) with:
        Driver saa716x, table rc-tbs-nec
        Supported protocols: NEC RC-5 RC-6 JVC SONY LIRC other 
        Enabled protocols: 
        Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms


This tells us driver is installed. Confirm with
# lsmod | grep ir
ir_lirc_codec          12898  0 
lirc_dev               19166  1 ir_lirc_codec
ir_mce_kbd_decoder     12879  0 
ir_sony_decoder        12549  0 
ir_jvc_decoder         12546  0 
ir_rc6_decoder         12546  0 
ir_rc5_decoder         12546  0 
ir_nec_decoder         12546  0 
rc_core                26883  10 ir_nec_decoder,saa716x_tbs_dvb,ir_rc5_decoder,ir_rc6_decoder,rc_tbs_nec,ir_jvc_decoder,ir_sony_decoder,ir_mce_kbd_decoder,ir_lirc_codec

Enable the IR protocols with

# ir-keytable -p NEC -p RC-5 -p RC-6 -p LIRC
Protocols changed to NEC RC-5 RC-6 LIRC

To make the protocol enabling persistant, create a udev rule
/etc/udev/70-TBS-IR.rules
containing

# Enable IR protocols
ACTION=="add", DEVPATH=="/module/ir_lirc_codec", RUN+="/usr/bin/ir-keytable -p NEC -p RC-5 -p RC-6 -p LIRC "


Download the file
http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput
and save it as /etc/lirc/lircd.conf

Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/lircd  (may be elsewhere in other distros)
Set 
DRIVER="devinput"
DEVICE=/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:0b:00.0-event-ir
variable names may be different in other distros, and confirm the location of your ir device in /dev/input

Start lirc daemon up in foregound to confirm it is OK
# lircd -n --device /dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:0b:00.0-event-ir -H devinput  /etc/lirc/lircd.conf 
lircd-0.9.0[11868]: lircd(devinput) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd

In another terminal start irw

observe in 1st terminal window
lircd-0.9.0[11868]: accepted new client on /var/run/lirc/lircd
lircd-0.9.0[11868]: initializing '/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:0b:00.0-event-ir'

Now press keys on your remote control and if all is well you will see in the 2nd terminal window

0000000080010175 00 KEY_MODE devinput
0000000080010164 00 KEY_POWER2 devinput
0000000080010071 00 KEY_MUTE devinput
0000000080010002 00 KEY_1 devinput
0000000080010008 00 KEY_7 devinput
0000000080010008 00 KEY_7 devinput
0000000080010009 00 KEY_8 devinput
000000008001000a 00 KEY_9 devinput
0000000080010192 00 KEY_CHANNELUP devinput
0000000080010192 00 KEY_CHANNELUP devinput

Terminate lirc in the 1st window and restart it as a service

service lircd start
 and repeat test with irw
