Do you know the recommended driver for your device? The best thing to
do is leave lircd not running. Unless you've copied a valid
/etc/lircd.conf file over, it won't do any good really anyhow. I run
(as root) "irrecord -H uirt2 --device /dev/ttyUSB0 test.conf" You
should try replacing the uirt2 with either the driver that your IR
receiver calls for, or simply use "irrecord --device /dev/something
test.conf" where something is the device that your IR is actually
connected to. I'll have some better instructions out in just a bit as
I'm having some quick supper. I went back and redid my universal remote
training with VCR code 0081 as talked about on the FedoraMythology
page, and that seems to work good and give me more buttons on my
remote. Even when lircd wasn't working, when I passed the right
parameters to irrecord, I was able to get input from the remote.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/10/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Seth Art</b> <<a href="mailto:sethsec@gmail.com">sethsec@gmail.com</a>> wrote:

Well, this would be specific to the remote "receiver" you are using.
I'm assuming that you are using the one that comes with the PVR-350.<br>
<br>
<font color="black" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="2"><font color="black" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="2">What
do you see when you run 'ls -l /dev/lir*' as root? You should at a
minimum have an lircd file, but you may have an lirc0 file which might
be the one to point to. Also tell me the output of running 'lircd -n'
as root. You may have to run 'service lircd stop' first. Give me those
and I'll check into some of the specific PVR-350 settings in the mean
time. Lirc was a big problem for me as it seems that the directions are
extremely vague for anyone not using the 250 and 150. Since I have a
USB Uirt, I had to figure some of it out on my own. I still need to
figure out how to rebuild Myth with lirc support built-in.<br>
