<font face="Arial">I finally got my remote to work, although, I don't
know why this fixed it. The box is fairly new, with FC-4 and mythtv
installed from scratch (using Jarod's howto, again, very nice job).
After installing the lirc package, I couldn't get the remote to work
after rebooting. The problem was very similar to this tread:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/165632?search_string=LIRC%20not%20working%20within%20Myth;#165632">http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/165632?search_string=LIRC%20not%20working%20within%20Myth;#165632</a><br>
<br>
Anyhow, after lots of reading I found a couple of posts with similar
problems. At their suggestion, I ended up adding this to
/etc/rc.local, and now it seems to work, although I don't know why.<br>
<br>
Added to /etc/rc.local<br>
<br>
/sbin/depmod -a<br>
/sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c<br>
/sbin/chkconfig lircd on<br>
/sbin/service lircd start<br>
<br>
Another note, I did this to get the ntp service to run. It didn't seem
to want to work after turning it on through the X configuration.<br>
<br>
# /sbin/chkconfig ntpd on<br>
# /sbin/service ntpd start<br>
<br>

PS - I made a couple of posts earlier in the month that came across
rather poorly (even I didn't like them after reading them online).
Please accept my apologies if they struck you the same way!<br>
