Hi, I'm running a pretty standard Fedora 7 box with MythTV. Recently my remote control, plugged into a SAA7146 era Nova-T, stopped working. I'm fairly sure this was after a reboot, probably into a new kernel which had been installed at some previous time (reboots are infrequent). The kernel is 2.6.23.12-52.fc7 After much searching, I tried enabling the ir_debug option on the budget_ci module. This showed me that the ir signals were still being received, but for some reason were no longer generating input events to be picked up by lirc. I then looked at the rc5_device parameter. This was, by default, set to -1. If I changed it to 255/"any device" then keycodes are generated and lirc works again. A few questions: 1) Is -1 the "autodetect" value for rc5_device? If so, which remote should be autodetected for the Nova-T? (I have both the smaller black Hauppauge remote, and a black/grey one - neither worked by default) 2) How do I work out the value of rc5_device for my remotes? I've found mention of looking at the ir_debug output, but no instruction of how to interpret it. 3) Would this change have hit mainline kernels fairly recently - perhaps between 2.6.22 and 2.6.23? I'm wondering if this is a full or partial explanation of the breakage. 4) Does this mean I could expect the Nova-T receiver to work with an RC5 protocol remote? For some reason I'd always thought it would only work with the Hauppage supplied remote. Many thanks, kev. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
