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 lir= c 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 i= s 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: OVU104008/00 3139 228 65171 MADE IN CHINA CREATIVE MODEL NO.:SB0540 lsusb output: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 041e:3100 Creative Technology, Ltd cat /proc/bus/usb/devices output: T: Bus=3D03 Lev=3D01 Prnt=3D01 Port=3D01 Cnt=3D01 Dev#=3D 2 Spd=3D1.5 MxC= h=3D 0 D: Ver=3D 1.10 Cls=3D00(>ifc ) Sub=3D00 Prot=3D00 MxPS=3D 8 #Cfgs=3D 1 P: Vendor=3D041e ProdID=3D3100 Rev=3D 1.01 S: Manufacturer=3DPhilips Electronics - RCS Singapore S: Product=3DCreative USB IR Receiver C:* #Ifs=3D 1 Cfg#=3D 1 Atr=3Da0 MxPwr=3D100mA I: If#=3D 0 Alt=3D 0 #EPs=3D 1 Cls=3D03(HID ) Sub=3D01 Prot=3D00 Driver= =3Dusbhid E: Ad=3D81(I) Atr=3D03(Int.)

If you get output on button presses, try recording a new lircd.conf with the dvico driver: irrecord -H dvico -d /dev/usb/hiddev0 ./lircd.conf-test Follow the instructions and move the generated config to /etc, then try running lircd with the dvico driver. Send this lircd.conf to one of the lirc dev's if it works. |

if it looks like these, it's a DViCO MCE remote, which is the "newer" dvico remote. http://www.pcalchemy.com/images/dvico/fusionhdtv5-gold/fusionhdtv5-gold.jpg <blocked::https://core:10443/horde/services/go.php?url=http://www.pcalchemy. com/images/dvico/fusionhdtv5-gold/fusionhdtv5-gold.jpg> http://www.eyo.com.au/img/ups%2Ckvm%2Cusb/hdtv5remote.jpg <blocked::https://core:10443/horde/services/go.php?url=http://www.eyo.com.au /img/ups%2Ckvm%2Cusb/hdtv5remote.jpg> http://www.pcalchemy.com/images/dvico/fusionhdtv5-gold/fusionhdtv5-gold-144x 108.jpg Try taking this file/link and removing the first two 'begin remote" sections entirely and try it : ( http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/lirc/lirc/remotes/dvico/lircd.conf.fus ionHDTV?view=markup ) snip from earlier email to the list: > The link that Christoph provided actually contains 3 (THREE!) different > configs for DViCO slimline/MCE remotes. scroll-down. :-) > > The first "begin remote" stanza (labeled 'DVICO") is for the > slimline/original remote, and was created by a guy called Chris Pascoe who > lives just across town from me. > The second and third "begin remote" stanza's are for the "chunky" MCE > remote.

The device > [...] I have the same remote and receiver (RM-1500 and SB0540), and it doesn't work either. There seems to be a Linux kernel problem (I use 2.6.15), and then incomplete support though the DVICO driver. My observations: When I watch /proc/interrupts while doing "hexdump -C /dev/input/event4" (which is in my case the IR receiver), and then press a button, interrupts are continually generated. There is output on the event device; there are obviously key down and key up events [1], but the key up events are delivered only when the next button is pressed, and pressing a button for a longer time does not result in repeated key down events (even though interrupts happen continuously). Also, the kernel tends to go into a 100% CPU busy loop, until I press another button on the remote. Patching the DVICO driver once the kernel issue is resolved is easy, I have more or less already done so. So if you have any suggestions please post it here. Thanks Wolfgang lsusb: Bus 002 Device 009: ID 041e:3100 Creative Technology, Ltd [1] Apparently the remote send "MS virtual key codes", described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/ winui/WindowsUserInterface/UserInput/VirtualKeyCodes.asp |
