I was having a similar problem - that's really why I subscribed to the
list! But I figured it out as soon as the confirmation came in - turned
out my ~mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc was fragged.
I'm running kernel 2.6.19 on debian, with whatever lirc was in cvs five
days ago.
Make sure the correct lirc module is loading. I had to manually push
lirc_serial in there and then start lircd.
Do test with mode2 and/or irw to make sure the correct codes are being
received by the computer.
Lastly, my lirc device was /dev/licd0 rather than /dev/lirc. Rather than
messing with udev I just symlinked /dev/lirc0 to /dev/lirc.
After all that I realized that only half the keys were working, so I
eventually rechecked my lircrc... and for some reason half of it was
incorrect!
So, those were my pitfalls. Hope this helps!
