lirc_it87 problem with different remotes

[BURGHARD <eri...@sy...>]

hi everybody,

i've an asus laptop with a remote controller.

apparently the cir chip is an ite8704 which seems to be correctly detected
and configured (same IO/IRQ than XP) by the lirc_it87 module

May  7 15:45:40 neo kernel: lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered,
at major 61
May  7 15:45:40 neo kernel: lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 0
May  7 15:45:40 neo kernel: lirc_it87: found IT8705.
May  7 15:45:40 neo kernel: lirc_it87: I/O port 0x0290, IRQ 11.
May  7 15:45:40 neo kernel: lirc_it87: Installed.

i've made my test with 2 different remote controllers.

- the first one is a creative rm-1000 (bundled with an extigy card). the
default .conf does not work. 

irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 test.conf

find the gap, but i've got to stop pressing key after 10mins. the
generated .conf recognize all keys as being 1 or 2

- the second test with the asus remote (perhaps a live-fiew: credit card
format and thin enough to enter in the pccard slot. this laptop have a
flytv platinum tuner inside)

i got only dot with repeatitive keys (channel, vol, forward, rewind).
irrcord didn't find the gap.

i've enabled debug for the compilation of lirc, i got number with each
keypress (but not always dots)

Is this a problem with it87 ?

Regards.
