[mythtv-users] Lirc's evil twin

[Henrik Gammelmark]

I am having problems using lirc with mythfrontend and mythtv-setup.

The good news is, that I can start lircd, and the keys are recognized 
fine by both myth and the lirc "irw" program.

The bad news is, that some other software is interfering with this, and 
this has two annoying consequences:

(1) Often I need to press the same key multiple times, or hold it down a 
while until it is detected.
(2) Even if I do not start lircd, there are no loaded lirc modules, 
there are no /dev/lirc* devices, the number-keys makes myth react as 
were they arrow keys

This weird ghost service/driver/whatever seem to have priority over the 
lircd process, and the phenomenom (1) also happens if I debug using 
"irw" with all myth-related software shut down.

What is this other process/driver and how do I disable it??

By the way, I have ruled out any hardware problems by testing on an 
entirely different system.

Thank you very much

PS: My last thread "PVR-350 remote" got very confusing and mixed up a 
lot of issues, so I started this new one instead.
