Getting there...I have the drivers set up, lircd starts up, but the remote
doesn't do anything.  Looking at the logs, the last last line below looks
like the problem:


Jan 18 23:04:47 vader kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usbserial

Jan 18 23:04:58 vader lircd-0.7.1[25614]: can't get exclusive access to
events comming from `/dev/ttyUSB0' interface


/dev/ttyUSB0 is the where the IR receiver is plugged into.


Any thoughts?

Thanks
Bob
