Where is lirc hardware.conf?

I'm running MythTV on Archlinux and as part of my installation I have lirc running so that I can use a remote control.  I recently downloaded Hulu Desktop and in order to get a remote working I'm supposed to change an  option in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf.  Well, on the lirc installation for arch there is no /etc/lirc/ directory and I cannot find a hardware.conf...  Any suggestions?

The item I'm supposed to change is to set LIRCD_ARGS="-r"

Re: Where is lirc hardware.conf?

Mine is found at /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

I need it to configure my remote that's connected through my Hauppauge TV Card and I think I created the file when I set it up.

If your remote doesn't need any specific configuration, I don't think the file gets created.

Just create the file if it's not there and add your line to it, then restart lircd.
