I tried it on my desktop system, and the remote worked perfectly, by 
installing the same versions of everything as on the mythbox.

I noticed that on the desktop the device is called /dev/lirc, while on 
the actual mythbox it is named /dev/lirc0 - why is that?

Perhaps something is left-over from my previous binary Debian packages? 
There are no other lircd processes running, the packages are 
uninstalled, and lsmod shows only the modules I compiled myself...

Please help - I'm desperate here!!
