[mythtv-users] LIRC issue, can't figure it out

I have two (near) identical frontends, one an Acer Aspire Revo, the
other a Zotac IONITX based system, both running FC12, latest yum
updates, current SVN code as of a couple days ago, identical USB IR
receiver and remote, one of them works with MythTV, the other doesn't.
The one that doesn't work in MythTV does work with irw, but when you
start mythfrontend there is this error:


2010-09-16 13:48:05.328 LIRC, Error: Failed to connect to Unix socket
'/dev/lircd'
                        eno: No such file or directory (2)

and sure enough:


ls -l /dev/lirc*
crw-rw---- 1 root root 249, 0 2010-09-16 13:47 /dev/lirc0

Strangely, the one that works has an identical setup, yet it works.

I've gone around the bend on this one, does anyone have any ideas on
what might be going on?

Thanks in advance.

Tom
