Hi, I have a HP MCE ir transreceiver which is recognised as Fintek device. The receiver works fine, however the transmitter only works when there is no X session running. When X is stopped and the following command is issued from the virtual console (tty1), then the transmitter works: irsend SEND_ONCE mceusb KEY_1 However, as soon as X is started even though irsend goes through, the transmitter led's dont go through. Any idea why this may be happening? These are the system details: #uname -a Linux localhost 3.10.4-gentoo #7 SMP Sun Aug 4 12:07:08 BST 2013 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 520 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux # lsusb Bus 002 Device 008: ID 1934:5168 Feature Integration Technology Inc.
