</div>I've had no luck with Gentoo 2.6.39 and lirc 0.9.0 (I'm using the imon<br>
reciever in an Antec Veris case.) I finally managed to get the events<br>
to be generated (KEY_UP, KEY_DOWN, etc.) as listed by "ir-keytable -t"<br>
(and they worked at a console prompt - for example pressing the "UP"<br>
button on the remote would fo to the previous item in the shell<br>
history) but MythTV would just sit there at the main menu - not even a<br>
physical keyboard hooked up to the machine would work in MythTV. I<br>
gave up and went back to 2.6.35 with 0.8.7 which works great.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br><br>Leo's link was very helpful. This is what I have learned. I had an old version of v4l-utils and ir-keytable -t did not work. I upgraded it.<br><br>I was not able to get ir-keytable -t to work with 2.6.39 at all for some reason. I was able to get dmesg entries with <br>
<br> modprobe ir-kbd-i2c debug=1<br><br>but no output from ir-keytable -t. The guide Leo linked to was very helpful to clue me in that if ir-keytable -t did not work, then there was a problem with the driver. I finally compiled a new 3.0.3 kernel, modprobe ir-kbd-i2c, and ir-keytable -t just worked with no configuration changes. I compiled lirc 9.0 again with LIRC_CONFIG='devinput', copied lircd.conf.devinput to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf, and started <br>
<br> lircd -n -H devinput -d /dev/input/event4<br><br>then irw showed keypress events. I thought I was in the good to go at that point, but not quite. My limited understanding is that mythtv still needs lirc in order to see remote events, but I could not seem to sort that out. Mythtv did not respond to the remote events irw did. WAF became low so I reverted back to 2.6.35 and lirc 8.7 for now. <br>
<br>If I do get some time soon to revisit this and figure out why mythtv does not see the lirc events, I will try to copy what Douglas Clowes posted in another thread to reverse pass events to my serial IR blaster.<br><br>

ir-keytable -p LIRC<br>
lircd --output=/var/run/lirc/lircd_send --pid=/var/run/lirc/lircd_send.pid</div><br>I believe I eventually will need to figure this out, but as the newer kernel worked a lot better for me maybe this still needs a bit more time to bake and for more commits to be made to the kernel and other software.<br>
<br>Hopefully, this info helps someone else.<br><br>Dan<br><br><br><br>
