[mythtv-users] LIRC on Fedora 18 (I realise slightly off list topic)

[Another Sillyname]

Thanks Martin

I had a look at your configs and still no go.......

I even tried......

lircd -n --device=/dev/input/event5 --driver=devinput

which loads into a non daemon mode so i can watch any output

if I then run irw in another terminal session the session running
lircd outputs:-

lircd-0.9.0[3589]: lircd(devinput) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd
lircd-0.9.0[3589]: accepted new client on /var/run/lirc/lircd
lircd-0.9.0[3589]: initializing '/dev/input/event5'   <-----   When
irw is fired up
lircd-0.9.0[3589]: removed client
lircd-0.9.0[3589]: closing '/dev/input/event5'     <------When irw is CTL-C'd

which would seem to me to indicate that lircd is listening on the correct path

However no infra red commands are 'seen' by irw.

Anyone else have any other ideas?
