Hello,
maybe this is not exactly a gentoo problem. Please point me to correct
location if i am wrong here.
I've got a MCE-like ir remote together with a USB receiver.
Looks like it is detected by the kernel and a input device was created.
Most of the keys are working. But - for example - the color buttons do not
generate any output.
"ir-keytable" (version 1.10.1) returns:
Couldn't find any node at /sys/class/rc/rc*.
"ir-keytable -d /dev/input/eventxx" gives as output:
Name: PHILIPS MCE USB IR Receiver- Spi
Using for test
ir-keytable -d /dev/input/eventxx -r
i got:
------------------- cut --------------------
scancode 0x700e0 = KEY_LEFTCTRL (0x1d)
...
Enabled protocols: other lirc rc-5 jvc sony nec sanyo mce-kbd rc-6 sharp
xmp
------------------- cut --------------------
But there is no definition of the color buttons in the list above.
Tests were done using this command:
ir-keytable -d /dev/input/eventxx -t
Any hints ?
Is it possibe to see the scancodes received by the USB-receiver to validate
that the remote really sends data for the color buttons. What kernel
options i have to enable ?
(Also for checking and not barking at the wrong tree due to hardware
problems)
Some info about my system:
