Sorry to post again about this, but I seem to be at a dead end. I'm now running Ubuntu Feisty (which is a Debian derivative).
Linux maclinux 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux. This is 2.6.20, so it shouldn't have the bug Tino Keitel identified in 2.6.21. I'm excepting a /dev/usb/hiddev? for the IR receiver, but there is no /dev/usb or any hiddev* in the /dev/tree at all. There is a variety of /dev/usbdev* devices including # ls -l /dev/usbdev4.3_ep00 crw-rw---- 1 root root 254, 16 2007-07-13 00:04 /dev/usbdev4.3_ep00 which corresponds to the hardware since # cat /sys/class/usb_endpoint/usbdev4.3_ep00/device/manufacturer Apple Computer, Inc. # cat /sys/class/usb_endpoint/usbdev4.3_ep00/device/product IR Receiver It looks to me like the usb device is not hooked up through the hiddev driver. The hiddev driver itself is loaded # dmesg |grep hiddev [ 6.436000] usbcore: registered new interface driver hiddev This is with the generic kernel (which does have hiddev enabled). I get the same results if I build the kernel with a .config that works for others. I don't think its a kernel config issue. What am I missing? Is it a udev rule? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
