thinked to record raw events from remotes and doesn't work with input
devices (usually it ends up with a lircd.conf file that interprets key
press and release as separated events doubling each event).
Just use the proper input-layer-lircd.conf.
I've got that file all set up, my hardware.conf for lirc is pasted below:
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
#Chosen Remote Control
REMOTE="Compro Videomate U500"
REMOTE_MODULES=""
REMOTE_DRIVER="devinput"
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/input/event7"
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="/etc/lirc/lircd.conf"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""
#Chosen IR Transmitter
TRANSMITTER="None"
TRANSMITTER_MODULES=""
TRANSMITTER_DRIVER=""
TRANSMITTER_DEVICE=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""
#Enable lircd
START_LIRCD="true"
#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
#START_LIRCMD="false"
#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES="true"
# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCMD_CONF=""
#Forcing noninteractive reconfiguration
#If lirc is to be reconfigured by an external application
#that doesn't have a debconf frontend available, the noninteractive

#It will then populate all other variables without any user input

FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"
START_LIRCMD=""
My /etc/lirc/lircd.conf contains the contents of the lircd.conf file you linked to. Like I said previously, the only way I know the thing is seeing keypresses is by looking at dmesg or the syslog - evtest and irw pick up nothing, nor does xev or anything else I know to test with. I think lirc is properly configured, insofar as i can change the device to point to my multimedia keyboard using the devinput driver which can then be picked up by lirc...
I do know the actual tuner is receiving the remote keypresses because of the changes to the codes listed in syslog...
Hope this helps you (help me ;) )
Cheers,
Matt
