Hallo Everybody!
I need help to get my Win MCE remote to work.
If I try to start kdeLIRC get this message:
The Infrared Remote Control software is not currently running. This configuration module will not work properly without it. Would you like to start it now?
Then the below error.
There are currently no remote controls available. You must first set up LIRC correctly.
Everything is grayed out in the window.
I am a new to lirc, however I red the whole documentation and still can not find out what I am missing.
I installed the LIRC ( 0.8.5-4.1 ) from the OSS repo.
Tested with:
mode2 -d /dev/lirc0
The driver seems to work.
I was able Created my own lircd.conf file. Copied it to /etc/lirc/
I can start lircd and irw as a root only.
lirc gives no EM just is just running at the background. But:
linux-8j1v:/ # irw /dev/lirc0
connect: Connection refused
Please help because I freek out because of this. How come that kdelirc is a KDE 4 standard software and lirc does not work out of the box in openSUSE??
Anyone using remotes with openSUSE?
This is my lircd.conf

Does anyone have an idea where could I shoot my question? I am a bit desperate 
I love my suse, dont want to change distro because of such 
If I run lircd as a root:
bigb@linux-8j1v:~> irw
(does nothing)
I added a .lircrc file to my ~
# .lircrc - MPLAYER sample test
begin
prog = irexec
remote = mce_kdell
button = key_a
config = tvtime-command TOGGLE_FULLSCREEN
repeat = 0
end
bigb@linux-8j1v:~> irexec
(notghing happens)
