Created attachment 34798 [details] X log file This refers to this post [1] to the xorg mailing list. I have a TerraTec Cinergy DT USB XS Diversity DVB-T USB device [2] which has an infrared receiver (IR) included and comes with a remote control. (To get it working `dvb_usb_dib0700` has to be loaded with `dvb_usb_dib0700_ir_proto=0` [3].) Anyway some buttons work as expected like the mute button and numbers, but most media control buttons (play, stop, pause, previous, next) do not get mapped correctly. $ evtest /dev/input/event8 Input driver version is 1.0.0 Input device ID: bus 0x3 vendor 0xccd product 0x81 version 0x100 Input device name: "IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver" Supported events: Event type 0 (Sync) Event type 1 (Key) Event code 0 (Reserved) Event code 2 (1) Event code 3 (2) Event code 4 (3) Event code 5 (4) Event code 6 (5) Event code 7 (6) Event code 8 (7) Event code 9 (8) Event code 10 (9) Event code 11 (0) Event code 41 (Grave) Event code 52 (Dot) Event code 55 (KPAsterisk) Event code 102 (Home) Event code 103 (Up) Event code 105 (Left) Event code 106 (Right) Event code 108 (Down) Event code 111 (Delete) Event code 113 (Mute) Event code 114 (VolumeDown) Event code 115 (VolumeUp) Event code 116 (Power) Event code 119 (Pause) Event code 128 (Stop) Event code 139 (Menu) Event code 158 (Back) Event code 164 (PlayPause) Event code 167 (Record) Event code 168 (Rewind) Event code 173 (Refresh) Event code 207 (Play) Event code 208 (Fast Forward) Event code 210 (Print) Event code 223 (Cancel) Event code 226 (Media) Event code 352 (Ok) Event code 354 (Goto) Event code 355 (Clear) Event code 358 (Info) Event code 363 (Channel) Event code 365 (EPG) Event code 370 (Subtitle) Event code 375 (Screen) Event code 377 (TV) Event code 385 (Radio) Event code 386 (Tuner) Event code 388 (Text) Event code 389 (DVD) Event code 392 (Audio) Event code 393 (Video) Event code 398 (Red) Event code 399 (Green) Event code 400 (Yellow) Event code 401 (Blue) Event code 402 (ChannelUp) Event code 403 (ChannelDown) Event code 405 (Last) Event code 407 (Next) Event code 410 (Shuffle) Event code 412 (Previous) Testing ...

be used. For example XF86AudioPause or Pause and that stop for example should be mapped to XF86AudioStop. Please find the output of `xkbcomp -xkb $DISPLAY -` and `Xorg.0.log` attached.

Right. In the keymap, you would have to change for example this line: key <STOP> { [ Cancel ] }; to this: key <STOP> { [ XF86AudioStop ] }; The general approach for a button is as follows (with examples for the Stop Button): - Note the keycode from the xev output state 0x0, keycode 136 (keysym 0xff69, Cancel), - Get the symbolic name from the top of the keymap <STOP> = 136; - Find the keysym section for the key and adapt it key <STOP> { [ XF86AudioStop ] }; Then load the result with xkbcomp your-edited-keymap.xkb ${DISPLAY} The problem is that the multimedia-key of a keyboard would generate the keycode 174 (StopCd), while your RC generates keycode 136 (Stop). The buttons above 255 are not accessible because of bug 11227.

Hm. Is there a list around of IR remote controls and the keycodes they generate? If so, it'd be great to get a set of keymaps that could be fed to the kernel so that everyone (including but not limited to the X server) could get the correct keycodes through evdev.

Not that I know of. I have read the on the mailing list referred article at http://lwn.net/Articles/364515/ some time ago but haven't followed the topic. The interesting (though partly argued) parts seem to be that LIRC works out the quirks and the kernel provides a high level interface through evdev. Maybe they disambiguate such things like STOP / STOPCD, too.

I can ask on the LIRC and VDR list for samples if you tell me what you need. The output of `evtest`?
This is a mass change of bugs. Bugs assigned to me that haven't been updated in the last 3 years are closed as WONTFIX, because, well, let's at least be honest about it. Please do not re-open unless you have a really good reason to do so (e.g. you're fixing it yourself). If it hasn't been fixed in the last 3 years, it probably won't be fixed anytime soon either. Sorry.
