Code:

#dtoverlay=lirc-rpi

Actually I had that disabled already. Don't know why I still get the error in dmesg.

if it is loaded, try to blacklist it by adding line

Quote:blacklist lirc_atiusb

to file /etc/modprobe.d/xbian.conf

(dont forget to add <return> to this line)

Yaaaay, I vividly remember this workaround to make it work in the first place. Back then, the X10 was recognized as a keyboard, and only left/right buttons worked. If it had shown similar behavior, I'd have searched for the blacklist again, but it didn't do anything at all, so I didn't think of that....

Anyway, added the module to the blacklist, reboot, worked again.

Big thanks, also from my girlfriend
