Re: Irrecord don't detect anything but mode2 does

[X-Dimension <X-D...@gm...>]

In the meantime i get irrecord work with my remote!
I installed the i586 Version of Mandriva 2008 which is using Lirc 0.8.2.
(Mandriva 2009 and Suse 11.1 are using Lirc 0.8.3, Mandriva Cooker have  
0.8.4)
So this problem is either a 64Bit bug, or a bug of lirc later 0.8.2?

But with Mandriva 2008 i586 i ran into the next problem now.
I created my /etc/lircd.conf successfully with irrecord, lircd works fine  
but irw gives me no output.

Can anybody help me to get my remote work?

BTW: My Toshiba remote control uses a RAW mode.
