Comment 1 for bug 67399

I've made the trick.

There's to do this in order to keep lirc users able to user lirc as in dapper:

In kernel source tree, edit this file:

drivers/media/common/ir-keymaps.c

It contains definitions of certain tv card remote controls. To avoid kernel catching remote control signals, there's to delete such definitions.

I've attached the file that made the trick with last edgy kernel.

When compiling kernel with new ir-keymaps.c, ir_common module is still present, but it wont do any harm to lirc users again.

When kernel.org provides a way to change functions to remote control keys (or even deactive it), ubuntu should come back to use their ir-keymaps.c archive.
