I'm debugging various other b0rked things in 2.6.31 here right now,
so I had a closer look at the Hauppauge I/R remote issue.
The ir_kbd_i2c driver *does* still find it after all.
But the difference is that the output from 'lsinput' has changed
and no longer says "Hauppauge". Which prevents the application from
finding the remote control in the same way as before.
OK, thanks for the investigation.
I'll hack the application code here now to use the new output,
but I wonder what the the thousands of other users will do when
they first try 2.6.31 after release ?
Where does lsinput get the string from?
..
Here's a test program for you:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <linux/input.h>
// Invoke with "/dev/input/event4" as argv[1]
//
// On 2.6.30, this gives the real name, eg. "i2c IR (Hauppauge)".
// On 2.6.31, it simply gives "event4" as the "name".
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char buf[32];
int fd, rc;
fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY);
if (fd == -1) {
perror(argv[1]);
exit(1);
}
rc = ioctl(fd,EVIOCGNAME(sizeof(buf)),buf);
if (rc >= 0)
fprintf(stderr," name : \"%.*s\"\n", rc, buf);
return 0;
}
