Hi there,

I have a Mitsumi MCE 2005 remote control, is it supported via mceusb  
or mceusb2
with a simple hack, i.e., by adding the correct identifier?

At this moment, I'm trying to compile the mceusb module in the most  
recent linux
kernel for this distro; it doesn't build...; next I'll be trying the  
mceusb2
driver, which isn't in the default kernel source tree.

I'll hack as far as my knowledge on kernel drivers goes (not an  
expert, but
capable of understanding with 3-4 more hours studying the source). In  
the
meantime, if anyone has information concerning success with this  
trasciever,
please let me know. After I've done testing (it'll have to wait until  
Monday),
I'll let you know of my results.

I'm working for a Portuguese linux distro (Caixa Magica) to get this  
remote
working on a media "cube" pc. I'll get deep into the driver internals  
and
contribute code if necessary. Just lend me some pointers to start on
development if it's really necessary.

Here's the result for "lspci -vv":
