Thanks for the response. I don't really know which one I'm using.
lol... I am using the one that came with the kernel. I didn't
download the lirc source and compile it into the kernel on my
own....if that is what you mean. :-)
It's strange because this just happened after I upgraded to the latest
svn. I was going through the different revisions, and one rev worked
while the next didn't. I noticed that there was some work with the
front-end and using the remote to put in the security code. I
wondered if this had something to do with it not working anymore.
If the myth logs gave a little better log onto what it couldn't find,
I could narrow it down. I set the mythfrontend logs to verbose all
and that didn't seem to output what it couldn't find.
Anyways, thanks again for the response!!!
