hi,

earlier, I used to compile lirc separately, but nowadays there are lirc modules in the kernel source, using /dev/input and IR keymaps. After switching to these, it seems many of the buttons in the remote have stopped working, as they are now interpreted as keyboard presses instead of RC commands for lirc.

Is there a howto-guide somewhere on how to set up VDR when using the new in-kernel features?

I prefer inputlirc to the original lirc. If you configure it to start at boot and grab the input device it should stop X or whatever from interpreting it as key presses.
