Re: New MCE remote USB initialization problems

[Jim O. <cnl...@gm...>]

I am home now (left work early) and I am not getting anything from
irrecord.  I am using this command:

irrecord --device=/dev/lircd temp

This is the only command that doesn't give me an error.  I also have a
/dev/lirc /dev/lirc0 /dev/lircd.  I have this in my modprobe.conf:

# LIRC Setup
alias char-major-61 lirc_mceusb

I have also followed Jarod's instructions on patching the rc.sysinit
to get lirc to start early in the boot process.  What am I doing
wrong?
