 Posted: Tue Feb 24, 2015 9:40 am Post subject: Problems with IR Input in X |
 |
|
HI all,
Lately I am having weird issues with the IR remote control: When i first login (after reboot) in SLIM and start a Xfce or XBMC session the remote control does not work. However Xfce recognizes the IR device as an input device under Settings>Mouse & Touchpads. ALSO 'ir-keytable -t' shows all the key strokes with the corresponding binding (e.g. KEY_UP, KEY_DOWN,..) correctly!! But neither in Xfce nor XBMC the remote control does work...
BUT when I log out and log back in the remote control WORKS FINE AGAIN.
What is also weird is that the rc-rc6-mce module is not found even though it should be compiled into the kernel
| Code: |
kernel: [ 1.212126] IR keymap rc-rc6-mce not found
CONFIG_IR_RC6_DECODER=y
and
CONFIG_IR_MCEUSB=y |
Log:

I had the same issue. It turned out to be having ir-keytable loading after xserver start. For some reason X couldn't pick up the keys, unless xserver was restarted. Before updating the system it used to work, and I didn't find out which update broke it, since I have few more issues to look at.
Anyway, I worked around by moving my ir-keytable loading script from /etc/local.d to run earlier in boot process, so it's run before starting slim. Hope this helps. |

Thank you!! that fixed my problem  I finally got time to take care of it.
Not sure which broke it either.. I'm guessing... latest xf86-input-* (2.9.1) or xorg-server 1.16.4 |
