How to use the macmini remote driver

[Tino K. <tin...@ti...>]

Hi folks,

I tried to use the macmini driver with lirc 0.8.2, without luck.

The lircd with the provided example lircd.conf for macmini didn't
produce any output in irw.

Then I tried to create an own lircd.conf with irrecord:

$ irrecord -H macmini -d /dev/usb/hiddev0 lircd.conf.macmini

However, it didn't recognize a keypress.

What can I do to get the macmini driver working?

I have a working configuration for the Mac mini remote using the
dev/input driver, but I'd also like to use other remotes with the Mac
mini IR receiver.

Regards,
Tino
