[xubuntu-users] Lirc with Xubuntu 11.10

[Alexandre Aractingi]

Hi, I have a problem finishing up my Lirc config on a Xubuntu 11.10 fresh install.

It seems to work but only for volume control - any other action seems to fail.

I understand the lirc_i2c module is now deprecated (I run a 3.0 kernel: Ubuntu 11.10 (GNU/Linux 3.0.0-16-generic i686)), and if I activate the lirc-kbd-i2c module then inputs are interpreted as keystrokes from a keyboard. And if I only activate the lirc_dev module, nothing happens.

Below are my info, included an irw output when I press any button on my remote (except the volume, which is correctly understood by my system).

Any idea will be welcome. Thanks in advance!

Alex
