xbmc & lirc remote

[Kloschüssel]

Howdie guys,

I'm stuck here with a little bogus that I am unable to resolve. I'm running here xubuntu 9.10 (ubuntu with xfce) on which I have a xbmc installed through the package manager.

# apt-cache show xbmc

It is being run automatically after a specific user autologged in. lirc was started by init.d and sits there. The X10 remote I have here was correctly set up and works like a charm:

And I put all the configuration stuff that regards xbmc into the Lircmap.xml file:

fuh:/home/tv/.xbmc/userdata# cat Lircmap.xml

        </remote>
</lircmap>

So. What could there be wrong that the commands are parsed correctly by lirc (as irw shows) but xbmc doesn't care?

Any help will be rewarded with a virtual *hug*.

Alright. After fumbling around a bit, I discovered that against my assumption (and those of few others around the internet) xbmc should show in the logfiles which configuration files were processed / loaded in his logfiles. Unfortunatly it doesnt mention my Lircmap.xml which tells me it is not being loaded correctly. *snif*
