Thanks, Andy, It seems almost to be working, but I'm having great difficulty getting that last inch to the finish. The details available on the internet are pretty sketchy--at least to me. I would say that the modules work fine, but that I'm getting a conflict between the module and the lircd program, or I've got something configured wrong...anyway, I'd really like to get the ir blaster working, it seems so close... About the ir_kbd_i2c module, it inserts fine, however, I do not get any input at a terminal. This is the dmesg output: [27334.864527] input: i2c IR (Hauppauge HVR-1600) as /devices/virtual/irrcv/irrcv0/input7 [27334.864740] irrcv0: i2c IR (Hauppauge HVR-1600) as /devices/virtual/irrcv/irrcv0 [27334.864747] ir-kbd-i2c: i2c IR (Hauppauge HVR-1600) detected at i2c-2/2-0071/ir0 [cx18 i2c driver #0-0] I attempted to cat the device /etc/input/event6 (which is what /proc/bus/input/devices noted was the Handler), but nothing Here is the associated part of /proc/bus/input/devices: I: Bus=0018 Vendor=0000 Product=0000 Version=0000 N: Name="i2c IR (Hauppauge HVR-1600)" P: Phys=i2c-2/2-0071/ir0 S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/irrcv/irrcv0/input8 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=kbd event6 B: EV=100003 B: KEY=100fc312 214a802 0 0 0 0 18000 41a8 4801 9e1680 0 0 10000ffc Thanks, James _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
