I have not less than two choices: lirc0 and lirc1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] init.d]# ls /dev|grep lirc lirc lirc0 lirc1 lircd > > Then try pressing the remote buttons to see if you get any output.

Perhaps you're recommending a lower level test with myth shut down. Last time, I didn't bother testing. I had two choices. I changed to the other one, and it worked. End of test. But I can't remember where I changed it. > > Once you identify the correct /dev/lirc? device you might need to make a > small change to the lircd init.d script to make sure it uses the correct > device. > See above on identifying it. When I find the config location, it'll be [0|1] and I'll make it the other. /etc/rc.d/initd/lircd is unrewarding. Other than pointing to /etc/lirc.conf, which defines the buttons and nothing else, it has no config I can find. Nothing seems to be in any of the 3 .mythtv dirs, /home/mythtv, /root, or / There is a lircrc in the /home/mythtv/.mythtv, but it seems to be a mapping from the button map to the myth functions. So I ask again, can anyone confirm|deny that there is a config somewhere that chooses lirc[0|1], and if so, where is it? -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
