This includes the backlight on your LCD TV or monitor.<br>

sitting in complete darkness, irw catches a command only every now and
then.<br>A strange thing is that there are very few periods of about 30
seconds where it almost works as expected (irw reacting immedately on
nearly every key press). But then, it's all the same again.<br><br>I really don't know what to do. A mythbox without remote is somewhat useless. Perhaps I uninstall LIRC (was included in Mythbuntu) and try to compile it on my own. It cannot get worse ...<br>
<br>Anyway, thanks for your reply!<br><br>Any further hint would be very much appreciated. Are there special things I have to pay attention to when removing LIRC from Mythbuntu and compiling it from scratch? (I have some Linux experience but never needed to compile something on my own.)<br>
