I have been trying to diagnose an issue where my MythTV box (with an
iMon LCD) occasionally hangs on shutdown.  I have tracked the issue down
to the lirc init script, and the line it freezes on is:-

  in_kernel_support "enable"

I still haven't figured out what this is function is doing yet, but
searching has brought me here, and I also notice the following lines in
dmesg:-

  imon 6-3:1.0: Looks like you're trying to use an IR protocol this device does not support
  imon 6-3:1.0: Unsupported IR protocol specified, overriding to iMON IR protocol

My device is "15c2:0038 SoundGraph Inc. GD01 MX VFD Display/IR Receiver"
running on Ubuntu 11.04.

Title:
  ubuntu 11.04 - lirc init script sets invalid ir protocol for imon
  driver (imon Looks like you're trying to use an IR protocol this
  device does not support)

Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have the following VFD + IR device...
  Bus 002 Device 002: ID 15c2:ffdc SoundGraph Inc. iMON PAD Remote Controller

  With the following installed versions...
  kernel: 2.6.38-10-generic
  lircd: 0.8.7
  ...and configured using the devinput driver (config generated via "dpkg-reconfigure lirc") I get this error in syslog and lirc fails to work:

  kernel: [   20.254591] imon 2-7:1.0: Looks like you're trying to use an IR protocol this device does not support
  kernel: [   20.254597] imon 2-7:1.0: Unsupported IR protocol specified, overriding to iMON IR protocol

  Running lircd manually works...
  sudo /usr/sbin/lircd -n --output=/var/run/lirc/lircd --driver=devinput --device=/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:0b.0-usb-0:7:1.0-event

  So to get lirc working when launched via the init script I have to
  comment out the in_kernel_support() function so that it doesn't try
  setting the incorrect protocol.
