Sorry, I meant a cat /dev/input/event4 of course which returns nothing when pressing a key on the remote control.
Which type of input device is this? Do you know which driver claims it? Can you reproduce this on the latest development kernel, currently 2.6.21-rc2?
Any news here? This is our only known 2.6.20 regression.
Sorry it took me so long, I testet again with linux-2.6.21-rc3-mm2 and the problem remains. I don't know how I can find out which driver is used for the ir remote reciever but it could/should be av7110, which is used to drive the card itself, the remote reciever is onboard on this one. lsmod gives me: stv0299 9736 1 ves1x93 6532 0 dvb_ttpci 87496 18 dvb_core 65320 2 stv0299,dvb_ttpci saa7146_vv 41088 1 dvb_ttpci video_buf 19204 1 saa7146_vv saa7146 14856 2 dvb_ttpci,saa7146_vv videodev 25088 1 saa7146_vv v4l2_common 15616 2 saa7146_vv,videodev v4l1_compat 12676 2 saa7146_vv,videodev ttpci_eeprom 3072 1 dvb_ttpci i2c_i801 7824 0 i2c_core 16512 5 stv0299,ves1x93,dvb_ttpci,ttpci_eeprom,i2c_i801 and ls -la /dev/input/by-path/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 13.

zzam, how come this is marked fixed?
dsd, seems I clicked on FIXED for wrong bug :( Nevertheless short info: The input device definitely is from av7110 driver. Can by modules dvb-ttpci, budget or budget_ci. There were some changes regarding handling of ir, perhaps you should try the module-parameter ir_debug=1 if your module has it.
Thanks for the info. Timo, please try copying drivers/media/dvb/ttpci/av7110_ir.c from 2.6.19 over to the same place in 2.6.20. Recompile and reinstall your kernel/modules, reboot, and see if the IR receiver works like that.
I tested what you suggested Daniel but I'm afraid it didn't change anything. Still the same behaviour.
You also can disable all media video/dvb stuff in your kernel (and remove the modules from /lib/modules/...), and compile the development-sources for the v4l/dvb modules using emerge v4l-dvb-hg and try these. Or you can try these parameters of dvb-ttpci: parm: ir_protocol:Infrared protocol: 0 RC5, 1 RCMM (default) (array of int) parm: ir_inversion:Inversion of infrared signal: 0 not inverted (default), 1 inverted (array of int) parm: ir_device_mask:Bitmask of infrared devices: bit 0..31 = device 0..31 (default: all) (array of uint) If that also does not work I suggest to ask in vdr-portal.de, or in #linuxtv on freenode.
Timo, can you reproduce this with the latest kernel (currently v2.6.22)? If so, the next step would be to file this bug upstream at http://bugzilla.kernel.org clearly marking it as a 2.6.20 regression. If there is no resolution there after a few days, you might want to try a git bisection. It's a somewhat time consuming process (you have to test about 13 different kernels) but it is extremely likely to find the exact patch which broke this functionality. http://www.reactivated.net/weblog/archives/2006/01/using-git-bisect-to-find-buggy-kernel-patches/ You'd use 2.6.19 as good and 2.6.20 as bad. Please let us know how the 2.6.22 testing goes, and if relevant, the URL to the upstream bug.
Even better then checking the latest kernel, is checking latest development drivers (installable by v4l-dvb-hg ebuild), to see if it is fixed there.
