Crap. There's an ioctl type mismatch between the latest v4l-utils version
of ir-keytable and what's in the 2.6.35.x kernel backports. We have some
new ioctls upstream that don't exist in 2.6.35, and thus the kernel code
was backported to use older ioctls, but userspace is expecting the newer
ones. This problem will go away in 2.6.37, I believe, but for now, the
easiest thing for me to do right now is to just add a switch to the imon
driver to allow specifying ir protocol on module load.

I'm a gentoo (funtoo actually) user with the above problem I think, but it 
hasn't been fixed by kernel 2.6.37.

kernel	2.6.37

Nothing happening here.

But Jarod , if you are listening, I emailed you a couple of weeks ago with 
codes from the Antec Fusion volume knob CW and CCW.  I can confirm that the 
knob is now supported with kernel 2.6.37.
