[mythtv-users] Remote works in menu's, but not Live TV

[David Lonie]

Hey, I was just about to get on here and post the same problem :)

I just got a serial ir receiver, I'm using lirc_serial and the svn of mythtv. 
I am using irxevent to sent the keypresses to CurrentWindow, and from what I 
can tell, it does indeed seem to be a focus problem. I use evilwm (gentoo's 
mythtv ebuilds use it, I kept it on the upgrade. Verrrry barebones :) )

Anyone know of a solution to this?
