I now went through the lirc documentation and there are still a few strange things. Could it be that lircd is after all not the program providing me access to the remote controll through the USB IR receiver?
The remote is working. However, I do not get any input at the /dev/lircd socket. The input from the remote is comeing from the /dev/input/event4 socket and if I do a "cat /dev/input/event4" I correctly see the input everytime I press a button.
"cat /proc/bus/input/devices" gives me:
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=147a Product=e02d Version=0110
N: Name="USB IR Receiver USB IR Receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:0b.0-4/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input4
H: Handlers=kbd event4
B: EV=10000b
B: KEY=e080ffdf01cfffff fffffffffffffffe
B: ABS=30000000000
I have the proper lircd.conf for the remote at /etc
I also have a lircrc at /etc with the following entry:
begin
prog = irexec
button = 9
repeat = 0
config = echo "Hello world!"
However, if I run the irexec command to test it it says:
irexec: could not connect to socket
irexec: Connection refused
I guess it is trying to connect to /dev/lircd, right?
A "cat /dev/lircd" gives me:
"cat: /dev/lircd: No such device or address"
I didn't have any lircd.conf or lircrc before and still the remote worked fine...and it is also working fine while doing all this currently.
Any hints what I'm doing wrong in trying to assign additional keyboard keys to the buttons of the remote?
Many thanks,
Michael
