Post subject:  lirc help please, can't navigate
Hello, I'm trying to set up lirc with an Audigy Platinum and its RM900 remote. I've got lirc recompiled and it seems to be mostly working, but I cannot use the direction keys on the remote to navigate.

Here is my ~mythtv/.lircrc file (not complete yet), which I made from looking at the default .lircrc and keys.txt.
Code:
begin
    prog = mythtv
    button = up
    config = Up
end

begin
    prog = mythtv
    button = down
    config = Down
end

begin
    prog = mythtv
    button = left
    config = Left
end

begin
    prog = mythtv
    button = right
    config = Right
end

begin
    prog = mythtv
    button = ok
    config = Space
end

begin
    prog = mythtv
    button = close
    config = Escape
end

begin
    prog = mythtv
    button = 1
    config = 1
end


if I run ircat, the buttons work:
Code:
mythtv@calliope:~$ ircat mythtv
Up
Down
Left
Right
Space
1
Escape


However in the Myth , only Ok (space) and the '1' button seem to work. What am I missing?

Anyone? Help?

I'm thinking this is an easy question, since some keys are working, I'm probably just using the wrong commands in lircrc or something. Is there a MythTv config file I don't know about that defines these strings?

are the up down etc keys defined properly in your /etc/lircd.conf file? and remember just about everything in linux is case sensitive.

ircat produces output when I press those keys on the remote, it wouldn't if lircd.conf wasn't set up right, right?

Oh, also, what is the "right" place to put the call to lircd so it starts on system boot?

on my system there is a symbolic link
/etc/rc5.d/S35lircd -> /etc/init.d/lircd
and /etc/init.d/lircd contains the command to start lircd

I figured it out, I was editing
~mythtv/.lircrc
I should have been editing
~mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc

CONFUSING!

No. ~/.mythtv/lircrc

It should be the home dir of the user that runs the myth front-end, yes?
Which, on KnoppMyth, is /home/mythtv, which is ~mythtv, no?

~mythtv is the login directory of the mythtv user
~ is the login directory of the current user.

If you are logged in as mythtv then ~mythtv and ~ represent the same directory.
