Public bug reported:
Hardy Beta1. Clean install.
I have an SAA7134-based board with a remote control that I've been using
for long with LIRC, before hardy. Now it seems support for this type of
devices is broken.
This is the info:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0001 Vendor=185b Product=c100 Version=0001
N: Name="saa7134 IR (Compro VideoMate TV"
P: Phys=pci-0000:05:01.0/ir0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:05:01.0/input/input6
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd event6
B: EV=100003
B: KEY=108c0222 211080100000000 0 0 19080006801 e168000000000 ffc
You can see
My hardware.conf is attached. I'll also attach lircd.conf.
I noticed that hardware.conf format has changed, and adapted my configuration
accordingly.
After reboot irw stays mute, it doesn't get any remote keypress.
Doing /etc/init.d/lirc stop; and then launching lircd in non-daemon mode
gives me (I'm connecting to lircd with irw):
$ sudo lircd -n --driver=dev/input --device=/dev/input/event6
lircd-0.8.3pre1[10361]: you should specify a valid gap value
lircd-0.8.3pre1[10361]: lircd(userspace) ready
lircd-0.8.3pre1[10361]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
lircd-0.8.3pre1[10361]: initializing '/dev/input/event6'
lircd-0.8.3pre1[10361]: can't get exclusive access to events comming from
`/dev/input/event6' interface
Then, nothing happens. The terminal that is on focus will get numeric
keys from the remote (because this is a linux-input-layer type device),
which also happened in gutsy. But in gutsy, lircd trapped those events
and processed them, and sent them to the connected lirc clients (e.g.
irw).
BTW, those number keypresses I get in the terminals demonstrate that my
hardware and the remote are fine, and also that the kernel module looks
good as well.
