Logitech UltraX Media Remote

[Daniel N. <lir...@dn...>]

Hi Everyone,

I've just purchased a Logitech UltraX Media Remote which is a media
center "compatible" (whatever that means...) remote with an RF USB
dongle. A quick google before purchasing showed that is was somehow
supported under Linux but I didn't investigate to what extent. The USB
HID driver supports this remote:

So now I'd like to use this remote with LIRC, but I'm not sure how to
do this. If I load the USB modules and then the evdev module I can see
data received on /dev/input/event1 for some keys but not others. I
understand that lircd supports reading /dev/input/event* devices but I
assume that events needs to be generated for all keys in order for
lircd to see them. Am I loading the wrong modules? Looking at the
wrong device files?

This remote seems very hard to find any information about on the
Logitech website actually, I don't know if it is maybe just an OEM
product really. All google results points to mostly European
distributors, maybe it doesn't exist on the US market? Here's a
picture anyway...

Searching the lirc list archives didn't give any information, so any
help appreciated.

Thanks
