I'm a bit confused about you saying "add Should-Start: inputlirc to /etc/init.d/lirc". The correct order of starting is lirc, inputlirc. That I can confirm manually: starting them in that order and my configuration works, starting them in the reverse order and it doesn't work. So it seems to me that in /etc/init.d/inputlirc on the 'Should-Start:' line 'lirc' should be added. I tried this and after a reboot it works as it originally did. Jaap
