Description John Klug 2011-08-04 01:46:55 UTC
This worked before the driver moved into the kernel.  The mouse keys on the pad plus [esc] work.  Channel works.  Numbers, power, play, record do not work with irw.  Note that when I type or use a mouse key, instead of being displayed by irw, X responds.  I don't recall this happening before.

I don't think I need the mouse/X emulation.  I don't think I had that before.

I am using /usr/share/lirc/remotes/imon/lircd.conf.imon-pad.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge lirc with imon_pad use flag and build drivers in the kernel
2.Soundgraph imon_pad remote mostly does not respond and nothing is displayed by irw



Expected Results:  
Play should produce a code, and mythtv will interpret it as the letter "p" when configured for lirc.
Comment 1 John Klug 2011-08-04 03:37:05 UTC
Also, in dmesg, when I use the pad (mouse or keyboard arrow depending on mode) I see this:

[ 3215.974444] imon 3-5:1.0: imon_incoming_packet: unknown keypress, code 0x68fa81b7
[ 3216.078446] imon 3-5:1.0: imon_incoming_packet: unknown keypress, code 0x697299b7
[ 3217.878485] imon 3-5:1.0: imon_incoming_packet: unknown keypress, code 0x6afa81b7
[ 3217.950486] imon 3-5:1.0: imon_incoming_packet: unknown keypress, code 0x6b42b9b7
[ 3218.022484] imon 3-5:1.0: imon_incoming_packet: unknown keypress, code 0x6b42f9b7
[ 3218.094486] imon 3-5:1.0: imon_incoming_packet: unknown keypress, code 0x6b4299b7


This is despite the fact that it appears to work.  When it doesn't work, there is nothing added to dmesg.
Comment 2 Kai Damm 2011-11-06 09:00:55 UTC
Confirming that lirc-0.9.0 or kernel-3.0 does not work with my "Antec Fusion Remote" case which comes bundled with a Veris RM200 remote control, which is essentially the same as the iMon Pad, just rebranded.

Most of the RC keys do not work, and irw does not work to get the correct key codes, to create a config from scratch: I get no reaction from irw for nearly all keys, just the up/down/left/right keys trigger an output like "[[A".

I tried every combination of kernel-2.6.38-gentoo-r6/3.0.6 and lirc-0.8.7/0.9.0.

With lirc-0.9.0, I tried LIRC_DEVICES="imon", "imon_lcd", "imon imon_lcd" and "" in make.conf.

The only working combination is kernel-2.6.38 and lirc-0.8.7.

I did not test kernel-2.6.39.

lircd.conf is a link to /usr/share/lirc/remotes/imon/lircd.conf.imon-antec-veris.

emerge --info (of the working setup):

Comment 3 Craig Andrews gentoo-dev 2016-07-31 22:24:07 UTC
As of app-misc/lirc-0.9.4, lirc no longer distributes kernel drivers making this issue obsolete. Please use the latest lirc and build kernel drivers using linux kernel configuration - lirc only includes the userspace tools now.

If you have a problem with the linux kernel driver, please open a bug against the kernel, not lirc.
