[mythtv-users] Success with DWL-120, still can't get X10 remote working

[Cotter, Paul M.]

Okay, thanks to everyone who made suggestions.  I finally got the DWL120
working and connecting on boot, which was a royal pain.  The at76c503
driver seems to require that ESSID broadcast be turned on, which I'm not
entirely happy with, but it works.  Even does 128bit encryption, which
the windows driver for the DWL120 never did.

Now the one remaining hardware problem I have is the X10 remote - I
confirmed that the USB transceiver is working by installing everything
on my windows box and testing the buttons, so I know that's not the
problem now.

I have the ~/.lircrc, ~/.mythtv/lircrc and /etc/lircd.conf files set up,
lsmod shows the lirc_atiusb driver is loaded, I have the alias
char-major-61 lirc_dev and alias lirc_dev lirc_atiusb lines in
modules.conf, the lircd daemon is started.

If I stop the lircd daemon and start it with --nodaemon, I see a single
line of output:
<numbers>lircd(any)...
where <numbers> is a string of numbers that I think represent the
version, but I don't have it in front of me (sorry).  From some posts
I've seen I'm thinking this should say <numbers>lirc(atiusb).. is that
correct?

When I run irw I do not get any output when pressing the remote buttons.
Are there any troubleshooting steps that people can walk me through or a
good help site.  I looked everywhere I could find and googled as best I
could to no avail.

I can't wait to get this working (looks like it won't be in time for the
season finales of some of the shows I wanted to record, but oh well...),
any help anyone can provide will be more than welcome.

Oh, and I promise not to make any more rants about wikis.

Paul
