Not getting much luv from lirc forums...no responses.

I have been trying to get lirc (distro version plus handbuilt latest from src) working on ubuntu 8.10 and it will work for 5-8 presses, hang for 5-10 seconds, then respond to a press or two then hang.

Dmesg and logs are silent and lircd in foreground shows nothing.

I have replicated this behaviour on 4!! different machines: my quadcore server, tx1000 touchscreen tabletpc, toshiba P25-s609 and an old piii-500.

Getting same results with 3! different ir trx (several of which work fine under MCE vista or xp): iguanaIR, mceusb and serial iguana.

I'm making good progress on other myth fronts...but lirc is handing me my *** on a platter.

Frustrating thing is over a year ago I had it working flawlessly on the P25-s609...and with same mceusb receiver.

thanks in advance...
