Thanks, I have tried that before with little luck, but I will try it again....ok done. I still can't get the remote to work.
When I follow Jarods instructions and start the lircd, the start says OK. Then if I run /usr/bin/irw, it doesn't do anything, and lircd seems to crash. Here is the output from my /var/log/messages: Dec 28 13:51:36 schmitzerLNX lircd-0.8.1-CVS[8392]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd Dec 28 13:51:36 schmitzerLNX lircd-0.8.1-CVS[8392]: could not get file information for /dev/lirc/0 Dec 28 13:51:36 schmitzerLNX lircd-0.8.1-CVS[8392]: default_init(): No such file or directory Dec 28 13:51:36 schmitzerLNX lircd-0.8.1-CVS[8392]: caught signal So whats going on here?
