 |
|
Final update: I emerge udev which overwrote my custom 10-lirc udev rule. When I regenerated it I used the wrong device (the keyboard device) where the special buttons are on the "mouse" device.
............................................
I don't think I emerged anything, I guess I must have...
But anyway.
I have linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r5, lirc--0.8.2-r1, udev-114-r2 (was 114, tried r2 for the heck of it).
I followed the instructions on this page: http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Snapstream_firefly_mini a long time ago and got it working quite easily.
But now even though everything looks like its working, its not:
If I cat /dev/input/event2 (or the symlink /dev/input/firefly-mini) I get data when keys are pressed on the remote.
And when I check for the lircd daemon:
| Code: | ps -ef | grep lirc
root 7317 1 0 02:10 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/lircd --driver=dev/input --device=/dev/input/firefly-mini --output=/dev/lircd /etc/lircd.conf |
But if I:
| Code: | cat /dev/lircd
cat: /dev/lircd: No such device or address |
And if I do an irw I get nothing during key presses.
I've tried older kernel (-r4) older lirc and even a few different ways to specify the input device, nothing makes any difference.
I know the device works because I can press enter in grub and it works.
I've googled, and searched the forums and can't figure it out. Does anyone have any ideas of things to try?
Anything to get me moving forward again would be great.

Update 1: I've tried all kinds of versions of all kinds of things and nothing works. 2.6.21-gentoo-r4 kernel, 2.8.1 of lirc, udev-104...
However I have turned on lircd debug and found that the keycodes are changed for the remote and the only keys that register are 0-9, UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT and ENTER (and they are different than what they are supposed to be). The other keys don't register at all. But if lircd is disabled then those keys (0-9,U,D,L,R,E) work as expected under X. Very strange.
What I'm trying to figure out now is how it suddenly changed after a reboot.
Consider this a bump as well.
Update 2: Here are the messages coming from lircd:

Its interesting to note that HID catches the normal keyboard codes, but USB is catching the special keys.
When I press the number "1" on the firefly-mini: I get the above message from lircd and this in HID:
| Code: | evbug.c: Event. Dev: usb-0000:00:02.1-2/input0, Type: 0, Code: 0, Value: 0

hid-debug: input Keyboard.00e6 = 0
hid-debug: input Keyboard.00e7 = 0
hid-debug: input Keyboard.001e = 0 |
But when I press the record button I get nothing from lirc.
And this from USB:
| Code: | hid-debug: input Consumer.00b2 = 1
evbug.c: Event. Dev: usb-0000:00:02.1-2/input1, Type: 1, Code: 167, Value: 1
evbug.c: Event. Dev: usb-0000:00:02.1-2/input1, Type: 0, Code: 0, Value: 0
drivers/hid/hid-core.c: report (size 3) (numbered)

hid-debug: input Consumer.00b2 = 0
evbug.c: Event. Dev: usb-0000:00:02.1-2/input1, Type: 1, Code: 167, Value: 0
evbug.c: Event. Dev: usb-0000:00:02.1-2/input1, Type: 0, Code: 0, Value: 0 |
Code 167 seems valid, but lirc gets nothing from /dev/input/firefly-mini
Still looking for guidance...
