Hi! I read about the bug in the driver to AverMedia DVB-T USB. I'm experiencing a problem with this driver (the version was downloaded in the end of August, I'm not certain if the mentioned bug should be fixed there). Anyway, I'v managed to get the remote working with lirc (when I realized that the AverMedia remote attached to /dev/input/event and not /dev/lirc). I was able to get the right remote codes when running irw, etc. BUT when I booted the computer next time the system gave the AverMedia USB-box another event slot (it was /dev/input/event3 when I tested it, and that was the value I wrote in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf). Now, however it had got slot event4. The result was that the dvb-usb kept writing "dvb-usb: error while querying for an remote control event." several times per second, both in the terminal and to syslog and daemon.log. End result: the hard drive was written until it was full and the system crashed :-(. I had to remove the USB TV-box and remove the files, and remove the call at boot time to lirc. So, my question(s): is it possible to stop the driver polling for the remote after a certain time to avoid this? Or, is it possible to force the kernel (or whatever) to give the USB-box a certain event slot? Have anyone heard of this phenomenon earlier? Greeting G?ran K?llqvist, Sweden BTW: I'm running Knoppmyth, latest version. Compiled a new kernel (2.6.13) to be able to use the DVB-T USB 2.0.
