ok. I have tried a different approach now. I have uninstalled lirc (I am using FC4, and was just using lirc as it came, and using yum/smart to maintain it). I have installed lirc from source (I think thats how you say it), ensuring when I run the ./setup thing, that I selected the option driver:devinput. I have modified my /etc/sysconfig/lircd file as outlined on http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVICO-Ultraview_Install_in_Australia#LIRC I start the lircd thingo with the command: "lircd -H dev/input -d /dev/input/event6" I then start irrecord with the command "irrecord -H dev/input -d /dev/input/event6" Upon which I am told that I dont have permission to acces /dev/input/event6. Which, upon checking, I dont. I switch to the root user, and the message is much more promising, and it tells me to hold down an arbitary button. I do so, and eventually get: irrecord: gap not found, can't continue irrecord: closing '/dev/input/event6' Now I'm stumped. I dont know what else to try. Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong?
I had this problem with the same remote, but I cant remember exactly what I changed that got rid of the message. I think that I got the "gap not found" message when I was trying to use hiddev and then when I compiled lirc and changed to use dev/input it started working ok (I followed these steps from Axel pretty much): http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-May/010409.html Are you 100% sure that your remote is still event6? My usb device event numbers did seem to change around a bit, so I added the UDEV change similar to Axel's suggestion, which also fixed the permission stuff as well.
