[mythtv-users] Dvico MCE style remote + LIRC?

[Todd Ignasiak]

I have the DVico USB IR receiver, though I don't know if it's the
'MCE' version..

The kernel driver appears to work for me.  I get a /dev/usb/hiddev0
device, and if I 'cat' it, I can see garbage output as I press keys on
my IR remote.

But, I don't see any sign of lircd seeing the IR commands.   irw or
irrecord don't show any inputs.

Is there any special config needed for the DVico receiver (I
configured it for the USB->DVico device before compiling).   Any
reccomendations for debugging lircd connections to the USB device?
