Hi Chris,<br>
<br>
I have a X11 not X15, but I a pretty sure they use the same IR Receiver. They
use the IR Trans USB modules. The lirc compatible server for the IR receivers
can be found at <a href="http://www.irtrans.de/en/download/linux.php" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.irtrans.de/en/download/linux.php</a><br>
<br>
You run the irserver application as a daemon and it provides a LIRC compatible
interface for LIRC applications like Myth. You will also need to download the
IRTrans client to teach the irserver your remote control's buttons. <br>
<br>
Post back here if you have any problems and I will help if I can, what remote
control are you using and what linux distro? I can post my Gentoo init.d
scripts for irserver if you would like.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Roo.</span></font></p>

Hi Chris,<br>
<br>
It does sound like you are close. Are you running irserver as root or
another user? <br>
<br>
I am using Gentoo and I run irserver as root (I really should fix this and run
it as a less privileged user) and it starts OK.<br>
<br>
Maybe you need to add the user you are running irserver as to the
"tty" group, on my system "/dev/ttyUSB0" is owned by
root:tty <br>
<br>
Also, I think it has been fixed but, you used to have to create a
"remotes" directory, I created it at
"/usr/local/share/irtrans/remotes", if you look through the source
code you will find other possible locations for the "remotes"
directory, but I don't remember them off the top of my head. <br>
<br>
Hope this helps you get it going, good luck.<br>
