During this years VDR-CAMP I had the same problem while helping someone to
setup an Ubuntu-based system with a HVR4000. Artem Makhutov already
suggested a solution, but this one is a little bit less intrusive:

Create a file /etc/hal/fdi/preprobe/10-ignore-cx88-ir.fdi with the
following content:



  
 
true

Hi Fabio,
most of the VDR italian community guys, like me, are using Arch Linux
since it's simple, light and stable (just KISS).

I use it only the terminal to control it (local keyboard or SSH) and
the output is going out from the integrated connector in my SS1 to the
TV.

If you are italian and wanna more support you can join us on
http://vdr-italia.phpbb24.com/forum/portal.php or just follow the guide
related edev and the plugin remote on my wiki:

http://gringo.netsons.org/wiki/doku.php?id=vdr:public:hardware:telecomando_terratec_1400

Hope this can help you,
Bye

You have to configure xorg with the option

Option "AutoAddDevices" "no"

in the ServerLayout section. This will force xorg no to add all evdev 
automaticly and
you can (you must) configure them manually.

You must then add something like this:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbModel" "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
Option "Device" 
"/dev/input/by-id/usb-Dell_Dell_USB_Keyboard_Hub-event-kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

I have attached my xorg.conf as example. This is a multi seat setup with 2 
independent video cards,
2 keyboards and 2 mouses.

Re: [vdr] What is the best linux distribution for VDR?

Ok but if remote.conf don't exist or is empty it should start the learn 
process.
My vdr with empty remote.conf or inexistent remote.conf DON'T start the 
learn process.


Something I missed to tell: every vdr is patched with zulu's extension 
patch.

Configure vdr to not use keyboard input. Instead use the remote plugin
which can be configured with a specific input device.
   

My problem is that vdr and remote plugin wont configure at statup.

I explain better:
Fresh install, I copy *.conf file from vdr source dir to video dir.
There is no remote.conf file.
I start vdr from vdr-source dir with this comman: "./vdr
-P"xinelibpouput -p" -P"remote -i /dev/input/eventX"
where eventX is the device i want to use to control my remote.

Vdr start but let me see only a black screen with "no signal"

No remote.conf created.

If I copy the remote.conf from xineliboutput's wiki, vdr let me
use keyboard if I start without remote plugin.
If I start with remote plugin vdr let me see only no-signal.
Last night even without remote plugin, vdr did not want to let me
see tv.



In general, there's no perfect distro for bleeding edge vdr at the
moment, you'll need to compile most stuff.
