lirc incompatible with new dev/input device?
|
|
I've been working through some newly installed lirc problems, and have now
gotten as far as lirc successfully connecting to /dev/input/event3 (my DVB
NOVA-S card).
When I start lirc (as below), the first 2 lines appear and the console waits
at "lircd(userspace) ready". Then, when I start IRW on that machine I see
lircd "initializing '/dev/input/event3'. However, lircd seems hung at this
point.
What is going on? I can tell the remote works because the remote arrow keys
are translated to keyboard arrow keys. My lirc version is
0.8.3-73_cvs20071109.fc6. I tried stepping back to version 0.8.2 but lircd
would not recognize the dev/input device.
I've been reading about using a kbd driver as the dev/input for the IR
remote. Without the LIRC part, will MythTV recognize these keyboard events?
How can I find out what events Mythtv responds to? Where to now?
Thanks
