I have built and installed LIRC with the configure switch for the AT Usb device.
I have /dev/lircd and /dev/lirc0 - permissions are correct.
I have a lircd.conf which is setup correctly for my remote control.
lircd would not run because /dev/lirc did not exist so I just created a symlink to lirc0 which works fine.
I can execute lircd fine.
irw executes as well and catches all the remote control presses so the remote control is working fine.
I am using VDR 1.3.38 which I made with make REMOTE=LIRC NO_KBG=1
I then startup VDR and it wants to setup the RC unit... it does not recognise any button presses.
/var/log/syslog is still saying setting up KBD ???
Jan 17 02:36:18 localhost vdr[6413]: remote control KBD - learning keys Jan 17 02:36:18 localhost vdr[6413]: KBD remote control thread started (pid=6413, tid=6422)
I forced --lirc=/dev/lircd --no-kbd onto the command when I execute vdr.
syslog now says
Jan 17 02:24:57 localhost vdr[6367]: remote control LIRC - learning keys Jan 17 02:24:57 localhost vdr[6367]: LIRC remote control thread started (pid=6367, tid=6376)
No other messages in the log but still not doing anything when I hit keys on the remote :(
any ideas folks??

You don't need /dev/lirc, at least here on a recent Debian : udev creates /dev/lirc0 which is the device you need to use.

Maybe it's a typo when writing this mail, but maybe not, so the right make option is: NO_KBD=1 , and not NO_KBG=1

On Debian , /dev/lircd is a socket , you need to use the character device, which is /dev/lirc0 So try --lirc=/dev/lirc0 --no-kbd

Try out the suggested changes and let me know if it's better.
Thanks,

Hi there. thanks for the response.
I tried that option as well. When I started VDR it did not give me the screen to setup my control. It instead skipped straight to showing a channel and it overlayed a large transparant grey square over most of the window. Remote still did not work.
