[mythtv-users] LIRC confusion

[Preston Crow]

I'm running LIRC with the PVR-250 remote.

Here's the problem:  I have my /etc/lircd.conf and ~/.mythtv/lircrc set
up correctly, and it mostly works.  However, it seems that there's also
in-kernel support for this remote that is sending keystrokes.  Pressing
a button on my remote not only sends the signal to lirc, but also causes
a key-press to be sent to the active window.  The key-presses even show
up if lircd is stopped and the modules are unloaded.

In /var/log/messages:

Jul 17 20:26:59 myth i2c IR (Hauppauge): unknown key: key=0x38 raw=0x3ff8 down=1
Jul 17 20:26:59 myth i2c IR (Hauppauge): unknown key: key=0x38 raw=0x3ff8 down=0

In /proc/bus/input/handlers:

I: Bus=0018 Vendor=0000 Product=0000 Version=0000
N: Name="i2c IR (Hauppauge)"
P: Phys=i2c-4/4-0018/ir0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input2
H: Handlers=kbd event2 
B: EV=100003
B: KEY=c0010 2010804 0 0 0 3 200a000 180 4801 9e0000 7bb80 0 0


While I like the idea of not having to use lirc, the in-kernel support
can't be configured per-application, so it won't work right with xine
and mplayer, so I need to disable the in-kernel version.  I'm running
2.6.15.4, and I don't see any obvious config options to stop parsing IR
signals as a keyboard input.
