usbhid quirks not working right now

I used to be able to get usbhid to stop taking control of my IMON device in a SilverStone case with:

options usbhid quirks=0x15c2:0x0035:0x0004

in modprobe.conf.  But now, while hidraw device files are not created in /dev for the IMON, /proc/bus/usb/devices still shows that the usbhid driver is in control of the device.  And modprobe lirc_imon (from CVS head) results in no /dev/lirc file.

I know I'm using a newer kernel than before (the latest).  Also, the modprobe.conf file is now in /etc/modprobe.d/.  That's new.

Anyone else using lirc with an IMON?  Is there another way to accomplish this now?  Or is this maybe a bug?

Thanks for any help.  I'm trying to get a new MythTV frontend up and running.

Hello Scott!

I don't have so much experience with it, but hope it helps:

Can you show your relevant syslog lines ?

Re: usbhid quirks not working right now

Well with the modprobe.conf usbhid quirks in place this is the relevant portion of dmesg.  You can see there are 3 hidraw dev files created.  Without the quirks in place I get 2 more for the interfaces to the IMON device.

...

lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61 
lirc_imon: Driver for SoundGraph iMON MultiMedia IR/Display, v0.6
usbcore: registered new interface driver lirc_imon

This is the relevant part of cat /proc/bus/usb/devices with the quirks in place:

T:  Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#=  2 Spd=1.5 MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=15c2 ProdID=0035 Rev= 0.03
C:* #Ifs= 2 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=100mA
I:* If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID  ) Sub=00 Prot=02 Driver=usbhid  <-- should be none with ignore quirk
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   8 Ivl=10ms
I:* If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID  ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=usbhid  <-- same as above
E:  Ad=82(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   8 Ivl=10ms

Previously I would see Driver=none (I believe it said none) until I got lirc_imon in place and then it would read Driver=lirc_imon and everything worked.  Lirc would create its dev files.  Now not so much.

I'm thinking something got broke upstream.  It's too bad that lirc_imon can't just take over the job and tell usbhid to stop.

Re: usbhid quirks not working right now

Hello,
Did you ever get this going? I have a similar problem with a remote I'm trying to get to work.
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices shows that the usbhid driver has taken control over the device and I can't change that...
