Guys,
Can anyone confirm working integrated remote device with TBS6925 on linux??
I cant find /dev/input/ir* device at all :[
Everything else works but remote is not there.
Driver: 110717
Kernel: x86 2.38.8
It should just work? Or maybe its not supported yet?
With TBS5980 everything was working :[
Please let me know if anyone have it working.

Hi
remote control for TBS 6925 is not supported yet in Linux - that
support is upcoming - probably it will be ready short after Linux
kernel 3.x became default kernel for many new Linux distributions -
starting with Ubuntu 11.10, which is going to be released October
13th, 2011. we decided not to spend time developing remote control
support for the new products until new remote control infrastructure
in the Linux kernel is not finished and widely accepted - in the last
several kernels the old 'ir_core' is replaced by the new 'rc_core'
remote control infrastructure. however, to our knowledge TBS are still
the only
PCI-Express DVB-S2 cards with Linux support and working remote control
in Linux - that applies to the older models TBS 6920, TBS 6980/6981,
TBS 6921, etc. and we will such support for the new models too.
Thanks
