Thank you all for your assistance and support. IT FINALLY WORKS!
I believe Jim's new script did the trick however I was using the raw
info from the SA2000 remote. When in an act of desperation I compared
the SA2000 and SAE8000 info on the lirc remote site I noticed a huge
difference in the format.
The SA2000 which I used exclusively since it was the only one I could
find documentation on mentioning the support of the SA4200HD I have has
the following raw format:
-------------------------------------- SNIPET --------------

works:

Also as a contribution here is some brief info on
setting up kdm for auto login:
After you have configured your mythtv user, edit the following file:
# vi /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc
Make sure the following lines are at the bottom of the file:
# Enable automatic login on this display. USE WITH EXTREME CARE!
# Default is false
AutoLoginEnable=true
# The user to log in automatically. NEVER specify root! Default is ""
AutoLoginUser=mythtv
# The password for the user to log in automatically. This is NOT required
# unless the user is to be logged into a NIS or Kerberos domain. If you use
# it, you should "chmod 600 kdmrc" for obvious reasons. Default is ""
AutoLoginPass=mythtv
Thank you again for all of your support.
Sincerely,
Babak

Hello,
I have just brought online my installation of MythTV. For the most part all is
working however I cannot get LIRC to work as a second instance to change channels
on my Cable box via a homemade IR Blaster.
Some background:
I have a P4 w/ 1 Gig Ram
2x 80 Gig SATA w/ 3Ware Raid 1 (OS)
1x 250 Gig SATA for Myth Content
nVidia GForce 5700 w/ 256 Mb
Hauppauge PVR-250
Fedora Core 2 w/ most recent patches running 2.6.9-1.6 kernel.
My cable box is a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 4200
I have downloaded and successfully compiled a second instance of LIRC using JDS'
excellent howto and script located here:
http://losdos.dyndns.org:8080/public/mythtv-info/MythTV_DISH_IR_LED_TX_via_Modified_LIRC.html
My problem is that my IR Blaster does not change channels. My homemade IR Blaster
seems to work -- at least when I put a normal led and tell it to change channels
it blinks. Also with an IR LED (Several actually) and using the "Camera Trick"
using the display of a digital camera see that the LED is blinking.
I am using lirc-0.7.0pre8 and made sure I uncommented the two lines in the
myth-ledxmit.sh script. All compiles and makes seem OK. I am using the code from
SA2000 in my /etc/ledxmit.conf. Several have verified that the SA2000 is
compatible with the SA4200HD. Only thing I can see that may be casuing the problem
is the following error I get when I load the modules (ledxmit_dev &
ledxmit_serial) for the second instance of LIRC.
Badness in sleep_on_timeout at kernel/sched.c:3022
[<022a689e>] sleep_on_timeout+0x5d/0xd0

ledxmit_serial: auto-detected active high receiver
ledxmit_dev: ledxmit_register_plugin:sample_rate: 0
I found one article googling that discusses this, however after applying the patch
provided and recompiling the problem persists. Here is the link to the article:
http://lists.atrpms.net/pipermail/atrpms-users/2004-November/001294.html
Any assistance in this matter is appreciated.
