Here's the relevant output of the command you suggested:<br>

</div>I know that my remote should be either event6 or event7 (if it's still<br>
to be set up using event numbers?), but I tried every combination of<br>
those I could last night and couldn't get it working. Oddly enough, when<br>
I tried hardware.conf files that were closest to when I knoe have worked<br>
before, lirc wouldn't even restart!<br>
<br>
Thanks for helping out. I'm still feeling like I'd rather spend a few<br>
£/$ rather than have this mess, but no one seems to be saying that<br>
buying XYZ would be any sort of cure all! I'd probably still have this<br>
trouble.<br>
<br>
I wish the people who wrote the really clear tutorials previously would<br>
do an update. I found them incredibly easy to follow. Maybe those users<br>
have moved on from Myth/Linux?<br>
