Thank your Tim and Ernie for your quick responses
tim I have followed your instructions, and I get a little farther, but
I still dont seem to recieve any codes from my remote



I still cannot successfully recieve any signals via irw

/etc/lircd.conf is the first remote desc from lircd.conf.atiusb with
the remote code 5000023600, althought I have gotten to this point and
used the whole original file

After all this looks good I try to run lircd and start the test with
irw and some button presses, but this is all I get

[root at mythfe1 ~]# lircd -d /dev/lirc0 --nodaemon &
[1] 4216
[root at mythfe1 ~]# lircd-0.7.2[4216]: lircd(any) ready

[root at mythfe1 ~]# irw
lircd-0.7.2[4216]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd

[button presses happen here, but no sign that the the computer
recieves it, the Recievers LED is on and solid, and the remotes led
blinks when ever a key is pressed] is there anything that seems
missing?

I do notice that regardless of it I have the lirc_atiusb line that
dmesg still comments about installing an x10 wireless reciever, and
lirc0 is still there, I am begining to wonder if recompiling the
kernel module ati_remote to have better key bindings is going to be
easier than setting up lirc, and I hate compiling, let alone editing
kernel module files
