I am running a much older kernel (4.1 LTS) but it seems you have everything. I did find your problem though, although I have no idea how to fix it: [ 7.185141] hid-generic 0003:0471:0613.0003: input,hiddev0,hidraw2: USB HID v1.00 Keyboard [PHILIPS MCE USB IR Receiver- Spinel plus] on usb-0000:04:00.0-2/input0 The kernel is registering your device as a keyboard (incorrectly, obviously.) Presumably this is why it is not creating /sys/class/rc/rc0. I would assume you'd have to block Xorg from seeing it as a keyboard and maybe write a udev rule to register the device correctly? On my mythtv frontend my device (an iMon device) registers correctly as an IR device: [ 7.000121] input: iMON Remote (15c2:0038) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.2/usb5/5-1/5-1:1.0/rc/rc0/input6 I did a quick Google for your device and "keyboard" and this thread looks promising: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=133071&pid=1118999#pid1118999 You might be able to get some information there to stop it from registering itself as a keyboard. This is for Ubuntu or one of its forks, so you may have to adjust things accordingly. Sorry I wasn't much help. Dan
