Mythbuntu/MythTV release.

Title:
  Snapstream Firefly remote not working

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This remote is listed in the Mythbuntu 7.10 Control Center as
  Snapstream X10 Remote, but does not work when selected.  As a
  diagnostic step, I ran irw, but there was no response to key presses
  from the remote.

  I tried several things In the ubuntu community forum description of
  the lirc installation procedure, but to no avail.  However, I found a
  thread from someone having a similar problem.  Following their advice,
  I found that the names that refer to this remote in hardware.conf,
  lircd.conf, and lircrc are inconsistent.  The name "Snapstream X10
  Remote" is used in hardware.conf.  The name Snapstream Firefly is used
  in lircd.conf, and lircrc just uses Snapstream.  I changed all the
  names to Snapstream to get it to work.

  I did not attempt to determine whether the earlier changes I made
  affected operation of the remote or not, but clearly the names in the
  files should be corrected.
