LIRC ISSUE (FTDI based IR receiver) - psaac - 2011-08-06

Hi,

Here is my config :
* Hardware
- Asrock ION 330
- Logitech Harmony 555 (emulating Pinnacle PCTV )
- FTDI USB IR (bougth at http://www.irblaster.info/usb_receiver.html)
* Software
- Ubuntu 10.10 minimal install (French language)
- XBMC compiled from source (Compiled 07/23/2011)
- Lirc compiled from source (FTDI needs some adjustments)

Here is my issue :
irw is working, remote presses outputs correct string.
But, no luck with XBMC, nothing happens...

I see also no /dev/lirc.... (is it related ?)

Any help would be appreciated ! I'll post some explanations on this particular setup as soon as I can get it work.

Thanks, Pascal.

maybe i can help you with the XBMC part.
can you help me putting ftdi to work with lirc?
what's your /etc/lirc/hardware.conf look like?
