It looks like I was not supposed to be using atiusb as
my lirc driver.  xboxusb seems to be loading better,
see dmesg output snippet below:

lirc_xbox[3]: Xbox IR on usb1:3

I have a /etc/lircd.conf which appears to be set up
for xbox:

#
# this config file was automatically generated
# using WinLIRC 0.6.4 (LIRC 0.6.1pre3) on Tue May 06
20:57:47 2003
#
# contributed by
#
# brand:             MicroSoft
# model:             Xbox remote
# supported devices: Xbox
#

begin remote

  name  xbox
     ...
end remote

Where is the lircrc file supposed to go?

~/lircrc
~/.lircrc
~/.mythtv/lircrc
~/.mythtv/.lircrc

None of those locations seemed to make any difference,
no response from the xBox DVD remote.

I tried running mode2, since irw never seemded to do
anything except say "connect: Connection refused" and
it complained "mode2: error opening /dev/lirc" and
indeed it doesn't exist:

mythtv at xbox ~ $ ls -la /dev/lir*
srw-rw-rw-  1 root root 0 Nov  1 00:02 /dev/lircd

Do I need to create a lirc device manually?

Please let me know any ideas,

Thanks,

Ben
