I'm not familiar with the "0.8.0-CVS" lirc version, and you don't mention what kernel version you are using, but I have noticed that lirc seems to be very sensitive to kernel version, for example 0.8.0_pre1 works with my 2.6.14 kernel, while 0.8.0_pre3 does not, although pre3 says that it has modifications for the 2.6.15 kernel. I assume you have checked that LIRC_OPTS is pointing to the correct character device for your setup. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
