Is that what I need? That's great. There are a couple of ways of doing this, and none of them is straightforward. It's a bit of reading tea leaves (that's one of the motivations for my lirc-scancodes patches, but I digress). Method 1: echo "+rc-5 +nec +rc-6 +jvc +sony +rc-5-sz +sanyo +sharp +xmp" > /sys/class/rc/rc3/protocols echo 1 > /sys/module/rc_core/parameters/debug journal -f -k # press button on remote Now look for "scancode" somewhere in there. Method 2: Either use lirc's mode2 or "ir-ctl -r -d /dev/lircX" (from v4l-utils 1.12), and post the output here. Thanks!
