If you are still interested in this bug, it needs to be tested with the
new 0.9.4c release, basically on a zesty host.

In the updated package you could use mode2 using --driver devinput to
check whether the kernel decodes the signals or not. If it doesn't, it
might be perfectly possible to configure lirc to use the raw data
instead of the /dev/input devices.

In short, here is not enough to qualify for a bug. If you are still
interested in this please refer to the mailing list at
http://sf.net/p/lirc for help configuring lirc in situations where the
kernel decoding does not work. See also the configuration guide at
http://lirc.org/html/configuration-guide.html.

Title:
  lirc does not work with avermedia m115 card remote

Status in lirc package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lirc

  Hi,

  I have an Avermedia M115 mini-pci-e TV card on an Acer Aspire 5652.
  The card has an infrared device which seems to work partially.  I can
  get some of the keys like 1-2-3...9-OK-VolUP,VolDown,Mute etc.

  System is Ubuntu 9.04, newly installed. (i disabled the saa7134 module
  as it's buggy at the moment)

  On the other hand, most of the special keys on the IR remote don't work, I receive such messages in dmesg output:
       atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x9e on isa0060/serio0).
       atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e01e <keycode>' to make it known.

  I have the following device in the lshal output, which seems to be
  related to the tv card:

  udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_0'
    info.addons.singleton = {'hald-addon-input'} (string list)
    info.callouts.add = {'debian-setup-keyboard'} (string list)
    info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.keys', 'button'} (string list)
    info.category = 'input'  (string)
    info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer'  (string)
    info.product = 'Video Bus'  (string)
    info.subsystem = 'input'  (string)
    info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_0'  (string)
    input.device = '/dev/input/event6'  (string)
    input.product = 'Video Bus'  (string)
    input.x11_driver = 'evdev'  (string)
    input.xkb.layout = 'us'  (string)
    input.xkb.model = 'pc105'  (string)
    input.xkb.rules = 'evdev'  (string)
    linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event6'  (string)
    linux.hotplug_type = 2  (0x2)  (int)
    linux.subsystem = 'input'  (string)
    linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0A08:00/device:01/device:02/input/input6/event6'  (string)

  cat /dev/input/event6 is always silent, except for the already
  recognized keys, which do write on the console:

  root@enterprise:/# cat /dev/input/event6 
  1123560
  1234567890
  ^C

  I guess the first step is to get the kernel recognize those keys. But
  if it's going to be manual, that would be a hard work due to a total
  of 48 keys on the remote (some working).

  Note: no input devices are configured in xorg.conf, nvidia driver is
  loaded to do it automatically. Xorg.0.log shows nothing about the
  remote getting configured.

  Any clues?
