I'm stuck on programming the keycodes... I have copied the file to /etc/rc_keymaps/rc6_mce, used ir-keytable -r to see the existing keycodes, -c to clear them, -r to confirm they are now cleared. Then the -p command to program the new codes from the file above.

It says "wrote 61 keycode(s) to driver... protocols changed to RC-6" and so on, but now when I use -r the only entry in the table is:
scancode 0x7fffff = KEY_PLAYPAUSE (0xa4)
And that isn't even in the file! But judging by the hex value, it just isn't working in the first place....

Any thoughts? I've tried it multiple times with the same result. Reboot gives me back the original keycode table, then I go through the process again, with the same result.

I have tried using the original file without modifications, and with the # table rc6_mce, type: RC6 line at the top... same deal...

UPDATE: hmmm I use the -v verbose option when updating the keycode table and this results. Initially it looks as though it is parsing it correctly, then at the end it appears to be writing all the codes to the same scancode, which is presumably why I'm only left with a single entry! Any thoughts?

UPDATE2: it seems that the maximum scancode it accepts is 7fffff! When I set a pair manually using the -k option, below 80000000 it works fine... but the standard codes for rc6 are all well over 80000000 ... now I'm really confused!

UPDATE3: OK, ir-keymaps has a bug in it - build new version from these instructions http://2cheeseburgers.blogspot.com/2010/...erick.html then it allows codes higher than 7ffffff ...
