[mythtv-users] Anyone using an iMon LCD display

[Ronald Frazier]

I've made some small bit of possible progress (though I'm not there
yet). Reading through codeka is painful at the minute, as it is VERY
slow for me. However, I did manage to find something:

The last couple posts on the first page talk about the device being
grabbed by the usbhid driver to support the mouse/keyboard feature of
the included remote. I did a check, and indeed it had:

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

T:  Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=06 Cnt=01 Dev#=  2 Spd=1.5 MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=15c2 ProdID=0038 Rev= 0.01
C:* #Ifs= 2 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=100mA
I:* If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID  ) Sub=00 Prot=02 Driver=usbhid
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   8 Ivl=10ms
I:* If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID  ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=usbhid
E:  Ad=82(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   8 Ivl=10ms



Notice the driver is usbhid. As a quick test, I did unloaded both the
lirc_imon and  usbhid modules, then reloaded lirc_imon and now I get

It's still not working, but I'm feeling a bit better, like I made some
progress. As far as why the patches work for others and not me? Well,
I am using 2.6.24, so maybe I'm a bit ahead of some of the other
people there. Maybe usbhid support for this device was added in recent
kernels.

At least now I have a direction to aim.
