IMON Remote stopped working after update?

Hi,

I have an IMON_PAD remote which simply worked out of the box since the chassis got setup; it's an Origenae S21T - LCD (Monitor) Touch Screen chassis.

As my device is the newer model things should just have worked with the kernel driver and no need for Lirc however, after the update to kernel version 3.17.1-1 x64 and reboot things stopped functioning and I can't work out why.

The output of lsusb is:

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 15c2:0036 SoundGraph Inc. LC16M VFD Display/IR Receiver

checking proc the device is mentioned as:

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=15c2 Product=0036 Version=0003

Running lsmod the module is loaded:

rc_imon_pad            12397  0

The issue starts when trying to run "ir-keytable -t".... the basic output shown is this:

Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event14) with:
	Driver imon, table rc-imon-pad
	Supported protocols: RC-6 other

	Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms

Running in Verbose mode:

and finally the output from logs:

Oct 29 20:08:04 HTPC1 kernel: imon 3-13.3:1.0: Unsupported IR protocol specified, overriding to iMON IR protocol

I'm not sure if something is conflicting or if the kernel is thinking that this is the older remote that needs to be used with Lirc but I'm really stuck on how to fix this. I can tell the receiver and remote are working as both sides blink when sending a signal, also I can power up the box using the remote "ON" button.

Would somebody be able to suggest something or help out in some way? This really should be plug and play as the driver is already in the kernel but obviously it seems to still have issues.....

Many thanks.

Thanks that's exactly it!!

I hope the patch gets added to the next kernel. Looks like my Hauppauge HVR-1900 adapter also stopped working too after the kernel update - uh.

Re: IMON Remote stopped working after update?

I know I'm in an ArchLinux-Board ...

... but I have on my XUbuntu with Kernel 3.13.0-40 the same problem with my IMON PAD.
Could this patch help me, too? And - if yes - how can I apply it?

Quite desperate since about >2 weeks, wife and children already haul me over the coals :-O

TIA!
