Terminal

input: lircd as /devices/virtual/input/input0

and I also get the double button press. However, if I then run "service lirc stop" and then simply "lircd", I get no virtual device set up, and no double key presses and the remote acts like I want it to. So maybe there is something up with the lirc init script?

Also, though, after a while key presses crash xbmc into a black screen, which recovers only when I restart xbmc. Nothing about it that I noticed in xbmc.log or dmesg.

2) Also since a recent update, when I log into xbian's samba sever via my mac lion, I don't have proper permissions, and I can't copy anything to it. I ran chmod a+wr on everything and it didn't make a difference.

1) what happens if you put "uinput" module into blacklist? or if you unclick "remote sends key presses" in XBMC input devices settings?

2) what share specifically? is you mac logging as xbian or guest?

---

1) I will try when I get home. If I blacklist uinput, will i still be able to use a keyboard?
2) I have no read/write permissions from my mac logging on to xbian as either xbian or guest. Also from clicking the icon or from running "Connect to sever" and using smb://xbian.local.

I'm using a mce remote: If I comment out the mceusb.conf from my lircd.conf the remote doesn't work anymore at all. I think that lircd.conf->mceusb.conf tells lirc how to interpret
the ir signal, which turns into KEY_OK or the like. Currently I don't know how lirc itself would be doing anything else with it. I don't have a lircrc file, so it must be xbmc, right?
I also changed my Lircmap.xml so that "power" runs a script, and I noticed that with the double keypresses, that pressing the power button runs my script but also brings up the shutdown menu. Therefore the power button must be activating Lircmap but also some other map, which has not been changed. Probably keyboard, right?
Edit: I forgot I may have added my own mceusb.conf at some point. Maybe I should wipe my lirc directory and try again.

Not to get philosophical, but, why would "service lirc start" link my remote to multiple keypresses and running lircd with defaults does not?

Otherwise my system is working pretty fast I think!
