[mythtv-users] OT: lirc-0.7.0pre2 installation confusion

I thought it was loaded but an lsmod didn't show it. So I did the
modprobe and it loaded, although it says "unused". Don't know if that's
normal. 

Then I restarted the lircd service and tried irw. It went right back to
a prompt again. I looked at messages and there was a bunch of stuff in
there. I wasn't sure if it was directly related.

So I loaded the service again and tried irw. This time irw did NOT go
back to the prompt right away and the messages log said it was loaded.
Bad part is hitting buttons didn't show me anything. Very frustrating!

So I guess I'm a step in the right direction. Any suggestions for a next
step?

Thanks,
James
