You can just do Alt+F2 or Alt+Right to switch to a VT that is still running getty & login. > "This remote here is just a remote. It's not a keyboard.

We use MCEUSB remotes (like you), but OTHER kinds of remotes (especially the ones with a USB receiver dongle) DO appear as keyboards to the OS, such that pressing e.g. Volume Up appears equivalent to pressing the same XF86VolumeUp key on a USB keyboard with media keys. My best guesses are 1. your remote is weird and doing both kinds; or 2. lircd acquires an exclusive lock on that input device. I can't be bothered digging into that for you; sorry. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
