Thanks, that looks right.  I have up/down/left/right/OK working (nothing 
I did, they just worked), but most of the other buttons are not.  In 
evtest, the mappings seem to be correct, but mythtv isn't responding.  
LiveTv doesn't respond to numbers and nothing  responds to the back 
button.  I suspect KEY_BACK is the backspace key, so it switched it to 
KEY_ESC in the mythtv key mapping (/home/don/.lirc/mythtv)....no 
effect.  Is there another mythtv mapping file  I need to check out?
