In chapter 3, before Code Listing 4.4, doc says: "lircd needs to know the device to use. Add the following line to /etc/conf.d/lirc.conf." But this file is wrong, the right one is /etc/conf.d/lircd: # emerge lirc ... ... # qlist lirc | grep conf /etc/conf.d/lircd /etc/conf.d/irexec
Thanks for reporting; fixed in CVS.
