[mythtv-users] Remote control issue after Ubuntu upgrade

I am probably totally confused here, but I thought I wasn't using lirc. I
thought it was no longer required if using devinput which is a kernel
driver and that the button presses got picked up as if they were keyboard
presses. So while lirc is installed, the daemon isn't running. Your comment
"If you were using a custom keytable at the ir-keytable level and had lirc
disabled, you will need to reinstall and use it" suggests I'm on the right
track - is that correct? If so, how do I re-install the custom keytable - I
don't understand that part? And can I safely uninstall lirc or is it still
required even if using the kernel devinput driver?

Thanks for helping,
Phill
