Me too ;-) I have Vstream and KWorld cards (**identical except for the label/packaging**). > When I plug the KWorld remote control receiver into the computer > "input: cx88 IR (KWorld/VStream XPert D as /class/input/input1" In my case.... The IR input is detected as an input-driver, producing message:- "input: cx88 IR (KWorld/VStream XPert D as /class/input/input2". I am finding that (reliably and consistently) the buttons on the seemingly-identical supplied remotes do not do the right things! Most buttons have no effect and some buttons work (e.g. as up/down/left/right) but using the wrong buttons on the remotes!! Seems to me like the remotes having been changed for a different type to those originally supplied.... ? > but when I try to cat /dev/event1 (or any other eventX) and send a remote > control signal to it, I don't get any output. You probably should use 'irw' to check for events.... Try 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices to see what you are looking-for'. Try 'irw /dev/input/event2' or whatever event? is relevant... Then press buttons on remote ?... > Does anybody have any experience with this? Me, as described.... > Is it possible the remotes are getting disabled somehow? Unless FC5 has some special patch.... as far as I can see.... the remote on KWorld is enabled ** with a default keycode-table ** as a 'direct input driver' automatically. On my debian-derived systems this means some buttons do things immediately/autmatically (albeit on the wrong buttons in my case). Maybe something about kudzu / fedora only aggepts input everts from certain /dev/input/input? that it has decided to listen-to based on hardware-detection whatnot... Seemingly I can use a recent lirc toolkit to setup keycodes and translations to lirc codes for various applications..... its just quite a bit of messing-around to sort-out ;-(. > Jonny --Mysterious 'enyc' -- UK/England _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
