Perhaps, do you get any extra messages in /var/log/messages?And this does in fact seem to be picking up my remote and there is a /dev/input/event1 which is squirting stuff back at me. Unfortunately just like with the DVB driver patch, I can't seem to get it to detect several keys such as the "red" key, and the bottom left "prev track" key. Nothing comes back, and some basic hacking of the driver tends to suggest that some of these keys must be being transmitted in a peculiar way?
My remote works, but I ended deleting the existing key_map and generating my own from scratch. There seem to be fairly major differences between the remotes. I will post a copy of it later, but it will probably break other remotes, so I don't think it can be merged as-is. The driver probably needs to be made more flexible like the av7110_ir.c to accept a custom key_map via /proc.I would be interested to know if a) you get your remote detected by the same driver? b) whether you know how to get these other keys working?
I tried some remotes for my TV, Video etc and none of them generated any response from the driver. It looks like it might be possible to reprogram the TI MSP430 microcontroller to recognise the different types of IR signals. TI even appear to have an app note (slaa134.pdf) on how to use the MSP430 as a remote receiver and provide the source code (slaa134.zip).sent to the card (I could perhaps do with a pointer to a 101 on how the IR receiver code works?)
