USB RF remote same keycodes for different buttons
#1
Hi all,

I've just did a fresh in stall of Dharma 10. (LiveCD) on my ASROCK ion 330. It's one of the older models, so it comes without an IR port and remote control. Because it's rather noisy I''ve decided to store the ASROCK somewhere not near my TV, so i needed an RF remote. This is the one I own (Conceptronic CLLRCMCE). Basically it's a USB RF receiver which behaves like a keyboard on linux (so no LIRC).

I have this problem: When I run XBMC in debug modus and watch the log for keystrokes and then press the '*' (star) button it returns exactly the same keycode (61600) as when i press the '#' (hash) button on the remote! However running showkey -s returns the following:

root@XBMCLive:/# showkey -s
kb mode was RAW
[ if you are trying this under X, it might not work
since the X server is also reading /dev/console ]

press any key (program terminates 10s after last keypress)...
0x2a 0x09 <-- for *
0xaa 0x89 <-- for *
0x2a 0x04 <-- for #
0xaa 0x84 <-- for #

So these ARE different keys, but the're not correctly mapped to different keys! Does anyone know hoe to alter this behaviour?

kind regards

Sebastiaan
