I think I have a clue what the problem is from
/var/log/messages:

ov  1 00:52:14 xbox ohci_hcd 0000:00:03.0: irq 9, io

Nov  1 00:52:55 xbox 0.7.0[6043]: accepted new client
on /dev/lircd

**** hmmmm ****

Nov  1 00:52:55 xbox 0.7.0[6043]: could not get file
information for /dev/lirc0

**** oh ohhh ****

Nov  1 00:52:55 xbox 0.7.0[6043]: default_init(): No
such file or directory
Nov  1 00:52:55 xbox 0.7.0[6043]: caught signal

Indeed /dev/lirc0 does not exist:

xbox ~ # ls -la /dev/li*
srw-rw-rw-  1 root root 0 Nov  1 00:52 /dev/lircd

dmesg output relevant lines:

lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at
major 61
usbcore: registered new driver usbfs
usbcore: registered new driver hub
lirc_xbox: XBOX USB remote driver for LIRC v0.3
usbcore: registered new driver lirc_xbox


So I'm guessing that I have to do a mknod, but what
are the parameters, any ideas?

mknod /dev/lirc c 61 3 (?)

Thanks!

Ben
