Bug 572288: Lirc stopped working with imon device in kernel-2.6.32
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=572288
------- Additional Comments from Åke Andersson <aake147(a)gmail.com>
Hi there again.
With kernel 2.6.35.12-90 (and 88) my remote stopped working again. Now, we also
have a new version of lirc, i.e. 0.9.0-1 if it matters (I am not sure what the
previous version of lirc is).
This time I get this in dmesg when the lirc service is started:
[ 6458.559500] imon 8-1:1.0: Looks like you're trying to use an IR protocol
this device does not support
[ 6458.559504] imon 8-1:1.0: Unsupported IR protocol specified, overriding to
iMON IR protocol
and nothing happens when using the remote, e.g., running irw.
However, when starting lircd manually with:
lircd --driver=devinput --device=/dev/input/by-id/usb-15c2_ffdc-event-if00
using the standard lircd.conf.devinput as the config file it works just fine.
My /etc/sysconfig/lirc file is as follows:
# Note: in addition to these parameters, you need to have working -*- sh -*-
# configuration file for lircd (and lircmd if enabled).
# Options to lircd(8). Typically, this will be empty, as which driver to use
# should be specified using the LIRC_DRIVER variable below.
LIRCD_OPTIONS="-r"
# The infrared receiver (and/or transmitter) driver to be used by lircd(8),
# similar to passing "-H driver" to lircd(8).
# Run "/usr/sbin/lircd -H help" to get a listing of supported drivers.
LIRC_DRIVER="devinput"
# Which lirc device will be used by lircd(8).
# This is the same as passing "-d device" to lircd.
# An empty value will use the default /dev/lirc0 device.
LIRC_DEVICE="/dev/input/by-id/usb-15c2_ffdc-event-if00"
# If "yes", the init script will try to start lircmd(8) too.
ENABLE_LIRCMD="no"
# Options to lircmd(8).
LIRCMD_OPTIONS=""
What has happened between these versions of kernels and/or lirc that stopped my
remote form working like it did before?
