A couple of days ago I upgraded from udev-171 to udev-197-r8 and hardened-sources-3.5.4 to hardened-sources-3.7.5. After that upgrade my X10 remote control stopped working. I spent several days now trying to get it working again - still not working. I see the remote with evtest and ir-keytable but I don't see any keypresses not even with cat /dev/input/event3.

dmesg:
Code:

Is the problem reproducible with sys-kernel/vanilla-sources?

The problem was apparently in hardened-sources 3.7.5, 3.8.0 and 3.8.0-r1. After I upgraded to hardened-sources-3.8.2 I received input in ir-keytable again. Therefore I didn't test with vanilla-sources.

I have to correct myself.
It was just coincidence that I saw some input. When I press many keys at once or in short order, sometimes a signal seems to be generated.
Apart from that, neither with hardened-sources-3.8.2 nor with vanilla-sources-3.7.10 I receive a signal in ir-keytable, evtest or cat /dev/input/event3.

Does anybody know what else I could try?

If this fails in vanilla-sources, and an older version works, then file a bug report with the kernel maintainers. Be prepared to be asked to bisect this down to the specific commit that broke it.

Hi,

There have been some changes in menuconfig of the kernel for Multimedia support, so you'll have to reenable the modules you need.

It should probably look like this:
Code:
Device Drivers  --->
Multimedia support  --->
[*]   Remote Controller support
<M>   Compile Remote Controller keymap modules
[*]   Remote Controller devices  --->
<M>   ATI / X10 based USB RF remote controls
