Hi, Just to say I've managed to resolve the problem. Mine was essentially the same as Jan's, with the slight difference that I had USBHID built into the kernel. The lib-hid-detach method worked, and a further modprobe set up the IR controller as a /dev/input as expected.
I've now got a fully working IR controller!! :) I don't suppose anyone knows if its possible to limit it so it only responds from one certain Mac remote, like you can with OSX? Thanks for everyone's help, Jan's especially Maq -----Original Message----- From: Jan Bernhardt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 21 October 2006 20:12 To: Martin J.

Create a script named /etc/init.d/appleir like this: --- cut --- #!/bin/sh # make sure the apple ir driver is not loaded rmmod appleir libhid-detach-device 05ac:8240 modprobe appleir --- cut --- # chmod 755 /etc/init.d/appleir # ln -sf /etc/init.d/appleir /etc/rcX.d/S99appleir Where X is your default runlevel e.g. 3 or 5. If you don't know your default runlevel execute 'runlevel' or look for it in /etc/inittab. HTH, - Jan. -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
