Lirc and case mounted USB HID IR unit

[Steven E. <mai...@st...>]

I have a nmedia case with a built in IR unit which connects to the USB
headers on the motherboard. Any tips on getting this working with Lirc?

The case manufacturer does make their own remotes and wireless keyboards
****for this unit, but I want to use my own universal remote with it.

So it looks like it has found the IR device and registered it with the
usbhid driver. The question now is how can I test it with any remotes.
