RE: Creative USB remote receiver

[Buzz <bu...@os...>]

if it looks like these, it's a DViCO MCE remote, which is the "newer" dvico
remote.

Try taking this file/link and removing the first two 'begin remote" sections
entirely and try it : (

Subject: Creative USB remote receiver


I bought a creative labs Audigy 4 (not platinum) and included with it was a
remote and a usb remote receiver.  I seem to be having problems getting lirc
to work with this device as it doesn't seem to recognize it.  The device
itself creates a device file /dev/usb/hiddev0 and if I type 'cat
/dev/usb/hiddev0' and aim the remote at it and press buttons I get a
response.  The only driver I could find information that uses that device is
the dvico driver, but if I use that driver, start the lircd daemon and type
irw to test it, I get nothing.  Information on the other creative remote
receivers indicates that they're connected directly to the soundcard, but
that is not true in my case.  Here is the information I have about the
receiver and remote.

Printed on the bottom of the receiver:

The remote is listed as an RM-1500 and has no other information on it.

/dev/hiddev support is on.

Any suggestions on where to look or what to do would be greatly appreciated.
