Hi folks. I recently lost the hard disk in my year-old VDR system
and have had to rebuild from almost scratch. Everything is
working except for the remote/keyboard. I've gone over things
time and time again, but don't see anywhere that I've made a
mistake. I've done quite a bit of searching (web and mailing
list) and haven't found anything really helpful. I'm hoping
someone here can point me in the right direction.
Like I said in the subject, VDR will see the remote and keyboard long
enough to create the remote.conf file, but when configuration is
complete and VDR switches to normal 'show video' mode, both the remote
and keyboard are ignored.
Note that evtest output is normal, and that with IR debugging enabled, the remote keypresses show up in the log as expected.
Installation details (note- I've tried to rebuild the system the same as it was prior to the crash):
* Vanilla installation of Debian Sarge, 2.6.8 kernel recompiled
from Debian-provided sources using the kernel config from the original
(working) system.
* In-kernel (non-CVS) DVB driver
* Full featured Nexus card with the grey remote
* VDR 1.3.20 compiled from source
* Remote plugin version 0.3.3
* Loading hauppauge_grey.rc5 via av7110_loadkeys after inserting dvb-ttpci, prior to running VDR
* Running VDR from the command line (not as a daemon) via ssh and screen.
I don't see anything out of place in the syslog:

And the related entries from remote.conf

I'm really running into a wall here. What am I missing?
Thanks,
