ID 1784:0011 TopSeed USB IR receiver no longer works in 10.04

[Lepy]

Binary package hint: lirc

Hello, I have a MCE Rosewill remote/USB IR receiver combo found here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880101003

The first button press from the remote causes the receiver light to stay lit, instead of blinking as under normal operation, and no input is received.

Under Mythbunut 9.10, this combo experienced the same symptoms, but worked flawlessly after modifying /usr/src/lirc-0.8.6/drivers/lirc_mceusb/lirc_mceusb.c and adding:

static struct usb_device_id mceusb_dev_table[] = {
        /* Topseed eHome Infrared Transceiver */
        { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_TOPSEED, 0x0011) },

and

static struct usb_device_id transmitter_mask_list[] = {
        { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_TOPSEED, 0x0011) },

and then running: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source
more details found here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=66527

Upon upgrading to 10.04, the machine using this combo experienced the original symptoms (light staying lit and no input received). These symptoms persist even after following the exact same procedure that allowed the combo to work in 9.10.

[Lepy (grammaton)]

Building lirc from cvs seems to have fixed this problem.

Works fine in Maverick.

As this works in Maverick, i'll mark this bug fix released.
