[Bug 778296] Re: lirc not working correctly on 2.6.38 kernel
In reply to comment #6, you're doing it wrong. On multiple levels. You
are trying to use devinput, but the mceusb driver hasn't been configured
to use the hauppauge rc5 keymap. Then you're trying to use a raw IR
config with that. Won't work. You need to use /dev/lirc0 for a raw IR
config. For devinput, lircd.conf.devinput, and the kernel driver's
keymap for the remote you're using needs to be loaded so that something
is actually mapping the raw IR signals to linux input layer keycodes.

Title:
lirc not working correctly on 2.6.38 kernel
Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: lirc
lirc not working correctl y on 2.6.38 kernel. I reverted back to lirc
not working correctly on 2.6.35 kernel and it starts working. I
understand that mceusb is now part of kernel driver. So I have
accordingly changed hardware.conf. I dont see anything on irw or ir-
keytable -t when i press my remote(s). Tried multiple remotes to see
the input. I can confirm that there is /dev/lirc0. When I do cat
/dev/lirc0 and press remote I see garbage spew on the screen.
My IR Receiver is
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0471:0815 Philips (or NXP) eHome Infrared Receiver
