At least not with the lirc-clients I'm using (mplayer, xmms, xawtv, irw), I don't have tvtime installed. The only odd thing I've got is that my caps-lock led lights up when I press VOL+ ;-) I assume your symptoms originate from the design of the driver. It's written for the new generic linux input layer: the IR remote is treated like a keyboard by the kernel. So you could also use your remote without any lirc daemon, provided that the program you want to control reads commands from /dev/input/eventX by itself. I suggest that you contact the author (Gerd Knorr) directly with your problem. regards, Stefan > thanks, > Jim Faulkner > |
