It took a while, but I figured out why I wasn't picking up the IR as a hiddev device. The two distributions I tried were Suse 10.1 (2.6.18 kernel) and Ubuntu Feisty (2.6.20 kernel). These kernels also blacklist the APPLE_IR, but in a different spot. Instead of drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-quirks.c that Tino found in 2.6.21, its in drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c in both these 2.6.18 and 2.6.20 kernels. I'm a bit confused about why Tino didn't have the problem in 2.6.20. Perhaps these are distribution specific changes to the kernel source. Was there ever an answer as to why its being blacklisted at all? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
