Hardware is just fine...it's a USB device, move it to a rpi-4b, works
fine....move it to my Linux Mint box, it works fine.
This was working on this hardware and O/S...but the SD card died, I had
to rebuild...

Haven't been able to get this working right since.

The config file is the same on all boxes...
[SNIP]
   begin remote
  =20
   name mceusb
   bits 16
   flags RC6|CONST_LENGTH
   rc6_mask 0x100000000
   eps 30
   aeps 100
   header 2667 889
   one 444 444
   zero 444 444
   gap 105000
   toggle_bit 22
   pre_data_bits 21
   pre_data 0x37FF0
  =20
And if I could make the stupid CEC junk go away I would, putting the
"recommended" adds to config.txt does'nt help:
   hdmi_ignore_cec=3D1
   hdmi_ignore_cec_init=3D1
and blacklisting the cec kernel module doesn't keep it from loading
either.

But...I don't think that where the issue is...this has to be something
really dumb, but it's been 4 days of trying and getting nowhere.
