Hi Comm:

Thanks for trying <1> already.  For <2>:
Open up /etc/init.d/lirc.  Find the part of the script that spawns lircd
(around line 152 or so).  Just add a "sleep 5" before that. (no quotes)

Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed
Status in “lirc” package in Arch Linux: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: lirc

I have a Lifeview Flyvideo 2000 tv card and I got it to work, but lirc refuses to work with the remote control. 

lspci:
01:07.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)

dmesg:
[   19.201635] input: saa7134 IR (LifeView/Typhoon Fl as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:09.0/0000:01:07.0/input/input5

cat /proc/bus/input/devices:
I: Bus=0001 Vendor=5169 Product=0138 Version=0001
N: Name="saa7134 IR (LifeView/Typhoon Fl"
P: Phys=pci-0000:01:07.0/ir0

B: KEY=c0304 390000 0 0 0 0 0 0 c0000002 1e0000 0 0 10000ffc


And the remote worked when I did this: irrecord -H dev/input -d /dev/input/eventX /tmp/my-remote

Now when I try to start lirc, I get this: 
$ sudo lircd -H dev/input -d /dev/input/event5
lircd: can't open or create /var/run/lirc/lircd.pid
lircd: No such file or directory
