Hi, Thanks for your efforts. ¿Do you think this patch will also be useful to the unknown keycodes problem of the Nova-T 500 remote? If you don't know what I'm talking about here you have a brief description: whenever the Nova-T 500 receiver detects "invalid" or "unknown" IR codes ( i.e. when you operate the TV remote, etc...) it keeps logging warning messages to kernel ring buffer until a "valid" code is received. There is a very simple patch in the wiki for this, but it doesn't cure the problem, just the symptons. I was wondering if your patch is a better way to solve it... Regards, Eduard
