<div>I used the same process with debian but lirc isn't working.

<br></div><div>DRIVER=atilibusb</div><div>DEVICE=/dev/lircd<br><div><br></div><div>which would make it equivalent to your command line. The other possibility is it’s starting too early but I doubt it. At the top of /etc/init.d/lirc do you have the required start line with remote_fs and syslog? Finally, try grep lirc /var/log/daemon.log to see if anything interesting is said during startup.</div>

<br></blockquote></div>The hardware.conf file was the key. My old habit of replacing the
hardware.conf after installing lirc with ubuntu distro's lirc hurt me
here. The ubuntu copy was different from the debian hardware.conf. Long
story short...I put back the original debian hardware.conf and added
the:<br><div>DRIVER=atilibusb</div>DEVICE=/dev/lircd<br><div>Lirc is working correctly and thanks for the help!<br></div><br><br></div></div>
