This is exactly what I need (my remote sends codes for several buttons
like this), but onfortunately it doesn't work for me.
Setup:
- PII-450MHz with Fedora Core 1 (couldn't go with FC2 - dxr3 driver does
not yet support kernel 2.6 - FC1 ships with 2.4 kernel)
- Cyberlink USB PowerDVD Remote Control
- lirc0.7.0pre8 configured to use the linux input layer
(/dev/input/event0 for me) (see further down the mail why I am not using
lirc0.7.0)
Only yesterday I have tried the suggested solution. Here goes (part of) my
lircd.conf file:
==========
lircd.conf
==========
# brand: CyberLink
# model no. of remote control: USB PowerDVD remote control
# devices being controlled by this remote:
begin remote
name CyberLink
begin codes
POWER 0x00010058
FULLSCREEN 0x0001002c
UP 0x00010067
# problem with EJECT

LEFT 0x00010069
ENTER 0x0001001c
RIGHT 0x0001006a
... snip ...
end codes
end remote
==========
lircd.conf
==========
I recompiled lircd0.7.0pre8 with debug code enabled. Output when starting
lircd.

So far so good I suppose ;)
I then run 'irw' to test this all, but the result is disappointing:
- all keys defined after the EJECT key in lircd.conf are not recognized
(or at least not sent to the client irw)
(so move this down to the last definition, I here you thinking, but there
are 5 keys that operate in this manner and I want them all to work)
- when pressing the PREV key on the remote, it is identified correctly
- when pressing the EJECT key, irw says that the PREV key has been pressed
(I will give the output of tail -f /var/log/lircd later on)
I then upgraded to lirc0.7.0 only to find out that, when testing with
irw, nothing was recognized any more. Not even when commenting the
definition of the EJECT key and restarting lircd. I then downgraded back
to lirc0.7.0pre8 to regain at least some functionality.
As you can see from the following log, lirc0.7.0pre8 does the recognition
up to some level, but does not send anything defined after the EJECT key
to a client. lirc0.7.0 does not even recognize the button presses, it only
reports failures, in spite the fact that the codes are received correctly
with lirc0.7.0 (the codes show up correctly in the logs - I haven't pasted
the log here to make the mail not too long ;) - but lirc0.7.0 is
apparently not able to make them correspond to a definition in the
lircd.conf file)
I also noticed from the log-file that lircd does recognise the most keys
correctly (except from the EJECT-key and the likes which it only partly
recognizes) but doesn't send it to the client.

Note from me: In my opinion lircd should recognise the combination of
these two codes as a single keypress on the EJECT button, certainly since
it appears to me that these codes are received at the same moment.

Now my question is:
- what am I doing wrong? (or how should I solve this if I am doing nothing
wrong?)
Thanks in advance
PS: creating a lircd.conf file via irrecord does not succeed (gap not
found, can't continue - error), maybe this is logical since the input
arrives via the event device interface?
