Hi,

My remote does not work after suspend/resume (using power button on box, 
not remote - getting the remote power button to do suspend/resume is 
next step!). Mythfrontend is otherwise running fine (frontend-only box). 
 From some google searches, I see that some people have had problems 
with lirc starting correctly after resume. For me, it is definitely 
running after resume, but perhaps not correctly...

Restarting lirc and then mythfrontend does not fix the problem (after 
resume).

irw does not work after resume.

I think the relevant module is usbhid (not sure if other modules are 
also relevant). This module is still present after resume. Doing a rmmod 
usbhid then modprobe usbhid, then restarting lirc, then the frontend 
didn't fix it either.

The dvico USB IR receiver device is still present after resume 
(/dev/usb/hiddev0).


Some details:

OS/distro: Mythbuntu Karmic AMD 64 running daily builds of 0.22 (now up 
to svn 23473).

IR receiver: Dvico USB.

Output of ps -ef | grep lirc (same before and after suspend/resume):

root      1058     1  0 12:34 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/lircd 
--output=/var/run/lirc/lircd --driver=dvico --device=/dev/usb/hiddev0

Output of lsmod | grep usb (same before and after suspend/resume):
usbhid                 43968  1


One thing *did* work though - removing the USB IR receiver then plugging 
it in again (both actions done after resume). I'd rather just leave the 
frontend powered up... :)


Does anyone have any debugging ideas?


Cheers,
Justin.
