[mythtv-users] Lirc irsend does not work in X (HP MCE)

[Rajil Saraswat]

Hi,

I have a HP MCE ir transreceiver which is recognised as Fintek device.
The receiver works fine, however the transmitter only works when there
is no X session running.


When X is stopped and the following command is issued from the virtual
console (tty1), then the transmitter works:

irsend SEND_ONCE mceusb KEY_1


However, as soon as X is started even though irsend goes through, the
transmitter led's dont go through. Any idea why this may be happening?



These are the system details:
