HI all,
I've done a bunch of searches, but I cannot find the answer to my issue.
I believe this setup should work, it seems as though xbmc "sees" the remote controls, but nothing happens on the screen? If I watch the log file while pressing remote buttons, they all register, shouldn't that mean it's working?

Thanks!

Don't know about ubuntu, but see my post here:

Thanks - I had seen your post, and have configured it in /usr/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml
I do not have a Lircmap.xl anywhere else on the system.

What is frustrating to me is that I can't seem to find documentation to tell me if seeing what I am seeing in thelogs should indicate that it's working. I mean, it used to work fine, then I rebuilt the system, and now, no dice.

Well, what does your /etc/lirc/lircd.conf look like and did you modprobe the two needed mods? Did you install the right lirc packages for ubuntu? On Arch they are lirc and lirc-utils.
