I recently installed (auto install) Knoppmyth 5E50. That went pretty well.

Then I got a serial remote (the packard_bell).
The lirc-reconfig.sh script has a selection for it, but it has no function in the script for that remote, so it just quits.
The script does have a configuration for rca-6n1 which uses the same driver. After that, i just copied over the /etc/lirc/lircd.conf file with the proper configuration file.

That leaves the /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc file.
There is also a link in /home/mythtv/.lircrc to the lircrc file (is that necessary?)

Here is the part I am having trouble with:
The remote seems to work fine with Mythtv and mplayer, but not Xine.
And when in playing in xine, the mythtv keypresses get passed through, so in the example lircrc below -- pressing the enter button causes an enter, not a pause. And even buttons mapped only to Xine don't get passed through to xine at all, e.g. the One button seem to do nothing.

And here is a big clue (but I don't know what to make of it!) -- if I exit the myth frontend and run xine from an xterm, the xine buttons work as expected!

Code:

begin
   prog = mythtv
   button = Enter
   config = Enter
end
begin
   prog = mplayer
   button = Enter
   config = pause
end
begin
   prog = xine
   button = Enter
   config = Pause
end
begin
   prog = xine
   button = One
   config = Pause
end

lirc works with mplayer but not xine?
