irrecord dies with "But I know for sure that RC6 has a toggle bit!"

[Daniel <sa...@ho...>]

Hi again.

I've built a PVR using a Accent HT-100B case and with this case comes a 
remote control from Ahanix, called iMon. Now, since this remote really 
has all the functions I need, I'm trying to create a lircd.conf for it 
with irrecord. However, irrecord keeps complaining about not being able 
to find a toggle bit for the remote, and since it determined the remote 
to use RC-6, irrecord refuses to continue. Sample session using 
'irrecord -d /dev/lirc/0 test' below:

<snip>
................................................................................
Found const length: 108273
Please keep on pressing buttons like described above.
................................................................................
RC-6 remote control found.
No header found.
No repeat code found.
Signals are biphase encoded.
Signal length is 30
Checking for toggle bit.
Please press an arbitrary button repeatedly as fast as possible (don't hold
it down!).

No toggle bit found.
But I know for sure that RC6 has a toggle bit!
</snip>

The utility dies the second after pressing "an arbitrary button" for the 
first time when adviced to do so. However, if I hold the button down the 
last five or so dots on the second row in the step earlier, it skips 
down to where I'm able to name the buttons and send signals, creating a 
nice lircd.conf file. The problem is that this file doesn't work when 
starting lircd and hooking irw onto it. There is no output on stdout. 
I've tried using the remote for my normal DVD-player and the config 
generated by irrecord for it works, and irw gives me output, so lirc 
works fine, but not with the iMon remote.

So, any ideas on what I should do? Is the toggle bit crucial for correct 
operation of a RC6 remote controller or is there some cool hack I could 
try by changing the source for irrecord and recompile?

Here is a excerpt from the config created when 'cheating' irrecord into 
not doing the toggle bit test:
