If mode2 shows "stuff" then the receiver is working, but since irw is silent, then lircd isn't making any sense of the codes that it's seeing.
You need to fiddle with your lircd.conf to make sure it has the remotes you're using in it. - Ian On 11/29/06, David Fishburn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Does this mean you cannot use lirc_mceusb2 with the MCE remote that comes with the Hauppauge pvr-500? Or are you saying yes, this should work? If mode2 is detecting my key presses does anyone know why irw would not pick up anything? If irw is silent does this imply: A) my lircd.conf is wrong B) something else C) something else That is the direction I am looking for, so I can figure out where to look next.
