[mythtv-users] Remote dead after Ubuntu update

I jumped from 8.04 to 8.10, and then from 8.10 to 9.04 today. All live
upgrades. I was expecting a few things to break, but was pleasantly
surprised that the whole thing went pretty smooth...

Until I tried to use my remote. I've been beating my head against the wall
for two hours on this now and can't figure it out. Everything looks like its
working perfect. Modules are loaded, daemon is started, irw prints commands
as I press them, but myth does nothing.

Some various outputs:
-----------------
mike at mythtv:~$ sudo lircd --device /dev/lirc0 --nodaemon
lircd-0.8.4a[5687]: lircd(default) ready
lircd-0.8.4a[5687]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd (<--- started up irw)
lircd-0.8.4a[5687]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd (<--- started up
mythtv)

Anyone have any clues? Some Googling as lead to me something about HAL and
FDI files. I've tried a few things but none of seems to affect the results.

Thanks
Mike

What are the contents of your lircrc? You sure it is still the config you
had before? Or did the upgrades overwrite it with something else?
