udev will probably help you later, if you can figure ouot how to set up rules for it, I'm afraid I can't help you there. First I think you should try to ascertain if your /dev/lirc should be symlinked to anything else. Make a note of the node major and minor numbers so you can recreate it later: #ls -la /dev |grep lirc then try linking to your usb hid devices in turn and seeing if you can capture ir activity: # ln -s /dev/usb/hiddev0 (for example) /dev/lirc $ irw ffa1000300000096 00 MOUSE_MEDIUM_N MEDIAMASTER ffa1000300000096 00 MOUSE_MEDIUM_N MEDIAMASTER ffa1000300000097 00 MOUSE_FAST_N MEDIAMASTER ffa1000300000097 01 MOUSE_FAST_N MEDIAMASTER you can also monitor your lircd log for clues: # tail -f /var/log/lircd Oct 2 10:34:13 mythbox lircd 0.7.2: lircd(bw6130) ready Oct 2 10:34:13 mythbox lircd 0.7.2: accepted new client on /dev/lircd Oct 2 10:34:13 mythbox lircd 0.7.2: initializing '/dev/lirc' Oct 2 10:58:08 mythbox lircd 0.7.2: accepted new client on /dev/lircd Oct 2 10:58:08 mythbox lircd 0.7.2: removed client Oct 2 11:00:31 mythbox lircd 0.7.2: accepted new client on /dev/lircd Oct 2 12:23:03 mythbox lircd 0.7.2: accepted new client on /dev/lircd Oct 2 12:23:27 mythbox lircd 0.7.2: accepted new client on /dev/lircd Oct 2 12:24:41 mythbox lircd 0.7.2: removed client Oct 2 12:24:46 mythbox lircd 0.7.2: removed client Hope this helps.
