At least for the chan+/- problem I've also noticed it in 2.6.9. The
ati_remote driver that is part of that kernel source is in fact generating
/dev/input events for everything but they aren't all getting translated
into X events. You can prove this by running evtest against
/dev/input/eventX ("X"=device allocated for your ATI remote) and hitting
some buttons. (In Debian, evtest is packaged with dvb-utils.) You'll see
every button generates events. But then try xev and chan+ and chan- won't
trigger anything there.
That's as far as I've gotten. Unfortunately I can suggest nothing yet as
a solution. I've been too distracted by other issues to continue pursuing
this one.

[mythtv-users] Repeat problems with ati_remote in 2.6 kernel
Hi all, Yesterday, I upgraded my myth box to a 2.6.10 kernel, from 2.4.26. Almost eeverything has gone very smoothly, with just one outstanding problem. I had been happily using the 2.1.1 ati_remote driver from the GATOS project, without lirc. I'm now using the follow-on that's included in the 2.6 kernel. I noticed that many of the keycodes have changed, but that was no problem: I just used xev to get them all, and updated my .xmodmaprc. One odd thing is that I'm no longer getting a keypress from the channel + and - buttons. The real problem, though, is the repeat behaviour. I'm finding that it's very easy to accidentally get a double keypress. If I press 2 or 3 times in a row, I'll get 6 or 8 presses. It makes things pretty hard to control. I'd guess that the repeat functionality that's shown up since the old driver is supposed to allow me to hold down a button and get rapid repeats, but if I do that, it keeps going well after I stop pressing it. Here's what's logged when I load the module: Dec 28 13:25:51 myth kernel: ati_remote 2-2:1.0: Input registered: X10 Wireless Technology Inc USB Receiver on usb-:00:02.0-2 Dec 28 13:25:51 myth kernel: usbcore: registered new driver ati_remote Dec 28 13:25:51 myth kernel: drivers/usb/input/ati_remote.c: Registered USB driver ATI/X10 RF USB Remote Control v. 2.2.1 Dec 28 13:25:51 myth kernel: drivers/usb/input/ati_remote.c: Weird data, len=1 ff 00 00 00 00 00 ... Has anyone had any luck using the ati_remote driver in 2.6? Anyone seen these kinds of problems, or better yet, solved them?
