I want to verify that you are logged on as mythtv and ~/.mythtv is actually
/home/mythtv/.mythtv?
 
Have you run mythfrontend -w from a console to see if the lircrc file, which
should be in your /home/mythtv/.mythtv, is being read ok? 

If you see the following...

mythtv: could not open config file /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc
mythtv: No such file or directory
Failed to read lirc config /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc for mythtv
Joystick disabled.

...then you've found your problem.

If you see just...

Joystick disabled.

...with no mention of lircrc, then something else is up.

Hi Chad,
Thanks but there already was a lircrc file at 
~/.mythtv/lircrc

There wasn't one at /etc/
I also tried copying the file to /etc with no luck.
Any other ideas?
Dave

Hi Dave,
