Hi,

I have:

TRUST - Multimedia Remote Control NB-5100p
http://www.trust.com/products/product.aspx?artnr=14272

known also as:

Formosa 21/ eDio 21
USB Receivers : IR-507
http://www.edio21.com/prod_ir507.asp
+
IR Multi Remote Controller: RC102
http://www.edio21.com/prod_rc102.asp



This is what kernel logs in to messages file when I plug in USB receiver:

Jan 25 08:24:26 andres-slack kernel: usb 5-1: new low speed USB device
using uhci_hcd and address 2
Jan 25 08:24:27 andres-slack kernel: usbcore: registered new driver hiddev
Jan 25 08:24:27 andres-slack kernel: input: USB HID v1.10 Device
[Formosa Industrial Computin Formosa RC102-809 USB Remot] on
usb-0000:00:10.3-1
Jan 25 08:24:27 andres-slack kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usbhid
Jan 25 08:24:27 andres-slack kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c:
v2.6:USB HID core driver

In /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules there is line:
KERNEL="hiddev*", NAME="usb/%k"

So there should be a device:
/dev/usb/hiddev0
created but only
usbdev5.2
is created.


I also tried with following lines but with no success
KERNEL="hiddev*", NAME="usb/hiddev%n"
DRIVER="hiddev*", NAME="usb/hiddev%n"


I use Slackware 10.2 with 2.6.14.5 kernel.
Do you have any idea what might be wrong?

i'v been fighting with /dev (both udev and devfs) the last few days to get my web cam to show up in /dev

i wish i could help you..

In case someone ask;
proc, sys, usbdevfs are mounted

well i got mine fixed by finding a newer version of the driver for the cam on the net (instead of my repositories).

although the dev problems where brought on by myself as well when i started to mix devfs and udev.. that was a no no.

so maybe if you find a better driver it will fix your dev probs tooo.

I found this:

I hope I can make it work

Does the device node exist on the stock kernel for that version of Slackware?
From memory, you have to enable raw hid devices, which should be in Device Drivers --> HID in the kernel config.
