lirc and devinput

Hi,

some weeks ago I bought a nice SilverStone LC20M HTPC case. It has a Soundgraph VFD with IR-Receiver which provides 2 input devices, "iMON Panel, Knob and Mouse(15c2:0036)" and "iMON Remote (15c2:0036)". According to http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid … #pid965686 and several others postings, using the RC (iMon Pad) should be easy, just point device to /dev/input/event3 (iMON Remote is event3 here) and change the driver to devinput in lirc_options. ir-keytable recognizes the keypresses on the RC, but LIRC failes to find the device:

Mär 02 11:09:41 cardium lircd[31644]: lircd-0.9.2a[31644]: Notice: accepted new client on /var/run/lirc/lircd

Mär 02 11:09:41 cardium lircd[31644]: lircd-0.9.2a[31644]: Info: Cannot configure the rc device for /dev/input/event3

In /sys/class/rc/rc0, there is no event3, but input5/event3. Is it a lirc-issue or something wrong with sysfs?

For the record - the output of ir-keytable:

Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event3) with:

Re: lirc and devinput

Actually lirc works even though i get this error. It's just that an update had overwritten my rc_keymaps/file
Can you try ir-keytable -t see if you get plain scancodes or keypresses ?
