This reports :

lircd (pid 1173) is running...

I can start and stop lircd using service without it showing any sort of
error.

What exactly do you mean by 'use irrecord specifying the RC5 config file'? 

I've tried running irrecord to build a lircd.conf file (as reported in my
post) it works after a fashion but it seems to get various things wrong
(misnamed buttons etc).

My receiver and remote are a PVR-350 and the black and grey (coloured
buttons around the cursor keys) control which came with it.

This rig has worked in the past. It is only since I was screwing around with
updates etc that it stopeed working.

Thanks for the post.
