lirc doesn't work: "mode2: initializing '/dev/input/eventX' This program does not work for this hardware yet

Binary package hint: lirc

Upgraded from 10.04 to 11.04 and can't make my Hauppauge HVR-3000 remote work.

mode2: initializing '/dev/input/eventX'
This program does not work for this hardware yet

after lircd -H dev/input -d /dev/input/eventX
irrecord and irw can't get any input

That mode2 doesn't work for /dev/input devices is as expected. The manpage describes that it displays timing data, but there is no such data available on /dev/input/* which already are decoded.

IMHO, this is not a bug and should be closed

[Alec Leamas (leamas-alec)]

Furthermore, in the new version 0.9.4c mode2 actually supports displaying data from the event device. Can you please check again using the 0.9.4c version? (Note that the update requires major configuration changes)
