I did consider that - that my input number thing was changing after a reboot, but no, it was always 6 (and I guessed I'd have to check this if I ever unplugged something). I dont beleive that this is the problem I'm having right now - I think I'm doing something else fundamentally wrong. Maybe once I sort these issues out, I'll think about applying this patch. But I'm thinking if I do it now, it will just introduce another unknown variable into my problem solving. (It isnt working at the moment - how will I know if I applied the patch wrong, and broke lirc completely?). Thanks for the link though.

That's "currently equals". You may need custom udev rules or a lirc patch (see URL below) to be able to find the correct device every time (given >= two identical devices) - and I wouldn't like to guarantee that for USB... <URL:http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305444&aid=1434830&group_id=5444> (And if you find the patch useful, it'd help to say so there.) -- | Darren Salt | linux or ds at | nr.
