SELinux is blocking the lircmd remote-controlled mouse from starting.
I have lirc properly set up and am able to use it to control amarok, kaffeine
&c when I start irkick, so I know that the remote is not defective and that
the system is reading the signals sent.
I use the lircm mouse to control programs remotely. I have the mouse defined
in xorg.conf and it used to work perfectly in f7 (when I had, in frustration,
disabled selinux).
In f8, I insist on finally using selinux in the default enforcing mode. The
problem with lircmd has been persisting since about f3 or f4 and since then,
I have had to disable selinux to get it to work. After all of this time,
there must be a way for linux software to co-exist with selinux?
