Dear Robert, it looks, like you're the master of the Samsung IR driver, that I try to get to work here. I kindly ask you to look into this issue, if you find time, since all other resources, that I could get hold of dried up without resolving it... Let's start at the beginning: I try to get a RC labeled Terratec to work with the accompanied usb IR receiver, that introduced itself as: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0419:0001 Samsung Info. Systems America, Inc. IrDA Remote Controller. The product is a Terratec Cinergy S2 PCI HD, but I plan to use the RC/IR adaptor independently in a small Intel Atom based system from Shuttle as a simple remote vdr device (that even doesn't have any PCI slots itself..) The distro is openSUSE 11.2, that I made running diskless with the i586/default kernel from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/frispete:/kernel-2.6.31/openSUSE_11.2/ That build contains your samsung203b-2.6.29 and samsung171b-2.6.31 patches, even if they seem not to be necessary, since I have one with a wDescriptorLength of 184, that .31 should support out of the box - thanks to your previous work. Obviously, it does not, at least not in the setup over here: I have lirc-0.8.6 installed, that is using these options: /usr/sbin/lircd -H samsung -d /dev/hidraw2 Further I copied /usr/share/lirc/remotes/samsung/lircd.conf.samsung to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf. Now a simple irw should reveal some keys pushed, doesn't it? Well, it doesn't. After building the kernel with CONFIG_HID_DEBUG=y, and loading hid with debug=1, a lot of stuff is written into the log. Between 21:53:46 and 21:56:47, I pushed all keys on the RC (some more then once), but starting the daemon resulted in "Failed to initialize hardware" as soon as I start irw, similar to running irrecord (after stopping lircd): ~# irrecord -H samsung -d /dev/hidraw2 xyz irrecord - application for recording IR-codes for usage with lirc Copyright (C) 1998,1999 Christoph Bartelmus(lirc@xxxxxxxxxxxx) irrecord: initializing '/dev/hidraw2' irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running ? --> close it, check permissions) OTOH, I'm able to catch them with: ~# cat /dev/hidraw2 | hexdump -C 00000000 00 04 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 |................| 00000010 00 00 00 04 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 |................| 00000020 00 00 00 00 00 04 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 |................| 00000030 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| 00000040 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 82 00 00 00 00 00 |................| 00000050 00 00 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 04 00 00 00 |................| 00000060 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 01 00 |................| 00000070 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 |................| 00000080 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| 00000090 00 04 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 |................| 000000a0 00 00 00 04 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 |................| 000000b0 00 00 00 00 00 04 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 |................| Each key dumps 16 bytes. Apart from that, the repetition doesn't work either, although the LED in the receiver is flashing continuesly. Do you have any idea, what's going wrong here? Thanks in advance, Pete
