Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: lirc
lirc not working correctl y on 2.6.38 kernel. I reverted back to lirc
not working correctly on 2.6.35 kernel and it starts working. I
understand that mceusb is now part of kernel driver. So I have
accordingly changed hardware.conf. I dont see anything on irw or ir-
keytable -t when i press my remote(s). Tried multiple remotes to see the
input. I can confirm that there is /dev/lirc0. When I do cat /dev/lirc0
and press remote I see garbage spew on the screen.
My IR Receiver is
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0471:0815 Philips (or NXP) eHome Infrared Receiver
