</div></div>Yes it appears that the remote name matches so given that the lirc<br>
daemon was started BEFORE mythtv was started you should be seeing the<br>
menu cursor move up and down in response to the key-presses on the<br>
remote.<br>
<br>
You're original post said that you were ahving trouble getting lirc to<br>
work in mythtv - are you seeing no activity at all or just unexpected<br>
behaviour?<br>
<br>
Lets review your /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log for mention of any<br>
issues during startup. Here's an example problem:<br>
<br>
2009-12-29 17:41:27.863 Using theme base resolution of 1280x720<br>

eno: No such file or directory (2)<br>

Here's a proper startup:<br>

2010-01-19 08:06:15.501 Using the Qt painter<br>
<br>
One thing to remember is that the lirc daemon has to be reloaded and<br>
then mythfrontend restarted when you make changes to .lircrc.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>So,i'm getting no response from the remote control when running myth. I
also don't see anything in the frontend log.<br>

Here is the output of the log when starting up the frontend, pressing
some buttons on the remote and shutting down the frontend:<br>
