ubuntu doesn't recognize all keys on rare remote and lirc fails on Jaunty Jackalope

Asked by Paweł

Hello!
After upgrade to Jaunty Jackalope my remote works as a HID keyboard and unfortunately i can't force lirc to works with my remote. So i can't use all keys. After restart irw returns keycodes:

irw
6c 0 KEY_DOWN event7
77 0 KEY_PAUSE event7
a4 0 KEY_PLAYPAUSE event7
d0 0 KEY_FASTFORWARD event7
but in case of pressing e.g. RECTV key of my remote irw doesn't returns anything :/

in devices i see my remote
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=18b1 Product=0037 Version=0100
N: Name="ELMAK.pl irMAKbd pl"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:0b.0-1/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.0/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/input/input7
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd mouse2 event7
B: EV=12001f
B: KEY=80000f afd037 bf004400 0 0 70001 10000 38007 ff9f63fa c140dfff febeffdf ffefffff ffffffff fffffffe
B: REL=103
B: ABS=f01 0
B: MSC=10
B: LED=1f

and
cat /var/log/daemon.log | grep lirc returns
Jun 21 18:39:11 MediaCenter lircd-0.8.4a[2719]: caught signal
Jun 21 18:40:42 MediaCenter lircd-0.8.4a[2715]: lircd(devinput) ready

I noticed two interesting things:
1) after sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart irw stops working.

cat /var/log/daemon.log | grep lirc
after restart returns
Jun 21 18:39:11 MediaCenter lircd-0.8.4a[2719]: caught signal
Jun 21 18:40:42 MediaCenter lircd-0.8.4a[2715]: lircd(devinput) ready
Jun 21 18:46:23 MediaCenter lircd-0.8.4a[2715]: caught signal
Jun 21 18:46:23 MediaCenter lircd-0.8.4a[4030]: lircd(devinput) ready
Jun 21 18:46:27 MediaCenter lircd-0.8.4a[4030]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
Jun 21 18:46:27 MediaCenter lircd-0.8.4a[4030]: initializing '/dev/input/event7'
Jun 21 18:46:32 MediaCenter lircd-0.8.4a[4030]: removed client
Jun 21 18:46:32 MediaCenter lircd-0.8.4a[4030]: closing '/dev/input/event7'

2) sudo evtest /dev/input/event7
returns information regarding all possible keys.

Input driver version is 1.0.0
Input device ID: bus 0x3 vendor 0x18b1 product 0x37 version 0x100
Input device name: "ELMAK.pl irMAKbd pl"
Supported events:
  Event type 0 (Sync)
  Event type 1 (Key)
    Event code 1 (Esc)

Does anyone know how to force ubuntu and lirc to cooperate and recognize my remote and finally give me possibility to use all possible keys ? :)
(I've try to reinstall lirc and didn't help )

I've also tried
sudo irrecord -H pcmak -d /dev/input/event7 ~/tmp/my-remote

Then i get
rrecord: could not reset tty
irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running ? --> close it, check permissions)

I've no idea how to get it works :/

Ok. I see that nobody can help me in this case, but maybe someone know how to turn off recognizances my remote by default ? I thing i could configure lirc to use all possible keys then ?

This is not an answer i was looking for, but thank You :) I was thinking about it, but this remote works very well in previous version ( 8.04 ).
