But it's not that easy with evdev devices like mouse and remote control. Unfortunately flyspray is still down. But the /dev/input/eventX bug with the inconsistent device naming for the mouse and the IR remote control is back since the latest initscripts update to 2009.08-1, even if the device naming is not switching at every reboot this time. Sometimes (usually) the mouse is /dev/input/event5 and the remote control is /dev/input/event4 and sometimes it's vice versa.
Here is my /etc/conf.d/lircd - maybe it helps in your case too (: ## Configuration for Technisat USB remote TTS35AI LIRC_DRIVER="devinput" ## Using dev/input device by name (description) ## because event device node my change. ## To get the 'name' for your USB device ## look at dmesg|tail after pluging it in for a line like: ## input: USB IR Receiver USB IR Receiver as ## /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.0/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/input/input8 ## or use cat /proc/bus/input/devices ## Make shure you have -d "$LIRC_DEVICE" (with quotes !) in your ## init script because of blanks!
