I don't seem to be able to get this to work under Mythbuntu 11.04. Any instructions or pointers from anyone who has successfully got their remote to work would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

Remote control for TBS 6280 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.
So please wait for our good news.

Thanks

I am confused does the IR port on TBS6280 work with the 111017 drivers or not?

I am running it on Mageia 1 with a 2.6.38 kernel

dmesg

Code: Select All Code

IR NEC protocol handler initialized

but there is no /dev/input/device created

Which hardware module should be loaded? Are there any instructions available?
Any pointers will be welcome.
