<div>I got a MCE generic remote. Running mythtv under ubuntu on a minimac. So I plugged in the usb IR receiver, then ran "dpkg-reconfigure lirc", choosed the MCE remote. However, no output from irw, okay lircd is coded to use /dev/lirc0 and that doesn't exist. So is lirc really working? The remote seems to work though, even when i stop the lirc daemon. I can use the cursor buttons in Xwindows to control the cursor. I can also use the remote's arrow to navigate the menus. What magical thing is mapping all the buttons already in Xwindows and mythtvfrontend? Can anyone explain to me how this is working and irw shows nothing? Also any ideas on how i can get LIRC to actually work with the remote?</div>
