I suggest that you jump back to Jarod's site and download his patch to
rc.sysinit. I had NO real luck getting lirc to install and stay
installed until I made that change.
Next: you must ensure that the names you use for the keys in lircd.conf
and the names you use in lircrc are exactly the same.
Channel-UP !== ChannelUp !== Ch+ etc.
Best route is to stop lircd and use mode2 to get the key-names, then use
those in lircrc.
Obscure and extremely frustrating problem.
