Re: problem with Hauppauge HVR-1300 non-MCE remote

[Raffaele B. <raf...@st...>]

Duncan,

thanks for the hints. I will re-check this evening what modules are
being built, but I'm almost sure I don't have neither the lirc_i2c
because I'm using the dev/event lirc interface, nor the ir_kbd_i2c
because it is not a dependency of the cx88 kernel module, so basically
there should not be the 'bad interaction' problem mentioned by Keith. My
(and Chris') problem is that I don't get _any_ event out of the event
interface.

Just yesterday there was some activity on the video4linux list on this
topic. Seems that the HVR-1300 remote is really not currently supported
by the event interface driver. I attach some relevant messages below for
those interested who are not subscribed to that list, please excuse the
slight OT.

I definitly can confirm that remote does not work at all. I yesterday
tried some debugging with some assist from Nickolay, but we
could not get any info, and samples stay all zero. There are some posts
on the v4l-dvb mailing list having the same problem. I would like to
help on that, because practicing throwing the remote at a specific key
on my keyboard would be long way  ;)

I would provide any information thats needed.
