I suspect that the usbhid driver claimed your IR controller. To check that, execute cat /proc/bus/usb/devices and look for the section containing a line like 'S: Product=IR Receiver'. Check the next line starting with 'I:' for the driver keyword. I expect it to say 'Driver: usbhid'. If so, become root and do the following (in one statement to make sure your usb keyboard gets reconnected again if you have one): # rmmod appleir ; rmmod usbhid ; modprobe appleir ; modprobe usbhid Then check the dmesg output for the appleir driver log messages. It should now contain a line similar to input: Apple Mac mini infrared remote control driver as /class /input/input2 Hope this helps, - Jan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
