Here's my understanding of how key depresses work.
(in ir-common-c)
[ 0x0b ] = KEY_RED, // red button
[ 0x05 ] = KEY_KP5, // 5
0x0b = is the pattern that the remote control generates.
KEY_RED = is what the driver should map the sequence to, when it sees a 0x0b
arrive
Here's my problem
When I tail -f /dev/input/event0 and hit the RED key, nothing happens
if I hit the "5" key I get ^[[G
but
if I change the line to " [ 0x0b ] = KEY_KP5 " and recompile, then run
the tail -f and hit the RED key I get ^[[G
So I deduce.... the key is generating something and the IR receiver is
picking it up, but the driver doesn't seem to know anything about the tag
"KEY_RED"
am I correct?
why isn't KEY_RED meaning anything to the kernel/driver?
