After i installed the latest updates my DVD dongle is no longer working.

I think im having trouble with the kernel driver vs the module lircd.

Code:

xbmc@xbmc:~$ cat /var/log/syslog | grep lir

But it still fails.

lsdev returns

lircd

I wish i never installed the updates as everything was working great. any help untangling this mess would be appreciated.

Thanks

Got it working,

I had to change hardware.conf

/dev/input/event2 to /dev/lirc0

wolla it started working after restarting lirc
