Antec Veris Basic and LIRC (More info...help still needed)

[<ke...@ev...>]

Hello All,

I am still trying to make this Antec Veris Basic IR receiver work and while 
I am figuring things out I am not really getting anywhere.

Earlier I figured out that Linux appears to see it and loads the HID Driver 
(Bus 3, Dev 3)...

(From a script called "usbtree")
/: Bus 04.Port 1: Dev 1,Class=root_hub, Drv=ohci_hcd/6p, 12M
/: Bus 03.Port 1: Dev 1,Class=root_hub, Drv=ohci_hcd/6p, 12M
     |_ Port 5: Dev 3, If 0,Prod=, Class=HID, Drv=usbhid, 1.5M
     |_ Port 5: Dev 3, If 1,Prod=, Class=HID, Drv=usbhid, 1.5M
/: Bus 02.Port 1: Dev 1,Class=root_hub, Drv=ehci_hcd/6p, 480M
/: Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1,Class=root_hub, Drv=ehci_hcd/6p, 480M

Since then I may have figured out that the HID driver is treating it as a 
mouse...

Can anybody provide me with some pointers as to where to look or what tests 
to run to determine if Linux is actually getting data from the device and 
if so, how to re-direct that data toward LIRC.

Thanks in advance,
Ken



(Partial from previous message)

Hello,
    I am trying to build a Myth-TV box using "MythDora 10".  I have
everything working except the IR remote control.  I am a moderate Linux
user and this has been making me learn new things!

    For the IR receiver I purchased an Antec "Veris Basic"
(http://www.antec.com/usa/productDetails.php?lan=us&id=30124) which is
not listed on lirc.org.  (Had I known that in advance I might not have
bought it, but this is my first stab at this project!)  This device has
a USB interface.

According to "lsmod" the following lirc modules are loaded...
          lirc_imon              23432  0
          lirc_dev               20408  1 lirc_imon

I also have the daemon "lircd" running.

There is no "/dev/lirc" but there is a "/dev/lircd"

When I run "irw" I get nothing.
