lirc woes - Antec Veris multimedia station E-Z


Hello, well its Fathers day, and my son bought me an IR for my pc. And of course it comes with windows software, which does me absolutely no good.

I will give specs below after the question:

When I plug the (USB) receiver in, linux see's it no problem, but I cannot get LIRC to work with it. I have searched and read google articles til my eyes bled. But found nothing that directly helped me to get this device to work. I simply would like to get the device to work with say amarok and/or xine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Opensuse 11.1, KDE 4.2

dmesg output:
usb 5-1: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3
usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
input: HID 15c2:0042 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:13.3/usb5/5-1/5-1:1.0/input/input7
input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.01 Mouse [HID 15c2:0042] on usb-0000:00:13.3-1
hiddev96hidraw3: USB HID v1.00 Device [HID 15c2:0042] on usb-0000:00:13.3-1
usb 5-1: New USB device found, idVendor=15c2, idProduct=0042
usb 5-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0

lsusb output:
Bus 005 Device 003: ID 15c2:0042 SoundGraph Inc. (there was more, but this is the device).

Under Yast2 hardware list, it shows the device (with above info), but it actually listed it as a mouse? And yes, just for laughs, I tried to move the mouse cursor around with it, but nothing happened.

Thanks in advance...

lirc woes

OK, I am one step further today, than yesterday. I updated lirc to 0.8.5, which does have my remote and "imon" receiver as an lirc.conf listing. Great news!!

BUT, now how do I make the "/dev/input/mouse1" become "/dev/lirc"??

Please any help would be great!
