I had huge issues with IR in general after upgrading to 11.04 (actually<br>
a fresh copy). It would respond to the MCEUSB remote but completely<br>
stopped receiving IR commands for any other remote (important as I also<br>
use it as an IR sender to equipment in another building). IR blasting<br>
appeared to work however.<br>
<br>
irw failed to see any of the keypresses. I fiddled with config and<br>
kernel modules and settings and lirc versions for about 6 hours before<br>
giving up and going back to 10.10 with latest mythtv ppa. The same<br>
config on there worked perfectly, first time.<br>
<br>
They appear to have done significant work to how IR works in the latest<br>
kernel and I would suspect this is the reason.<br>
<br>
Sorry I can't be of more help, but I've been there and it is somewhat<br>
fresh in my memory as being a very painful experience. I'll be very<br>
interested if you find a solution as obviously I can't stay on old<br>
versions forever.<br>
