Trust Multimedia keyboard

[subbia]

Hi guys,
I've bought this keyboard: http://www.trust.com/products/productversions.aspx?artnr=17911.

It seems known for xbian:

Code:

But it seems not recieving any input, neither with xbmc on, or off.

uname -a:
Linux xbian 3.6.11+ #4 PREEMPT Fri Dec 21 00:31:02 CET 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux

Logs from lirc:

Code:

Jan 29 00:09:35 xbian lircd: WARNING: you should specify a valid gap value

irw does not produces any output. Device lirc0 get not created, though these are my input devices:

Seems like kernel sees it, but lirc has no configuration to handle it. I'm not that familiar with those devices, but i've made a simple test:
connect the keyboard to a Mint desktop. It's working pretty fine.

Any suggestion here?

Thanks in advance!

First of all, can you use our markup code. Increases readability.

And did you already followed my guide on our wiki?

Sorry for missing markup code. Didn't thought on that.

Yes, followed your guide, but both irw and mode2 commands shows nothing as output.

Any hint on why?

Thanks!

[CurlyMo]

Then again, edit your post and still apply the markup code.

CurlyMo, edited the post. Any hint now?

Thanks!

But what about my guide? Did you follow it?

yes. I've got no signals from irw nor from mode2 commands. Sort of no communication between the device and the Raspberry, but in dmesg it's showing up. I've tried both direct connection to raspberry (it's powered via miniusb charger bought with raspberry) and connected to a externally powered usb hub.

Same keyboard connected to a Mint desktop, and it is working like a charm. The real problem is that I don't know where to look for logs, as in syslog there aren't useful infos. Just having a place where to look for logs would already help.

Thanks in advance!

Can you post the output/content of lsusb and /etc/lirc/hardware.conf and /etc/lirc/lircd.conf from linux mint?

Hi CurlyMo, sorry for the mistake. Found out that on Mint I wasn't using lirc, but X.

Here's the snip from Xorg.0.log:

I'm working now to understand how to configure XBMC without lirc, and what this would imply.

Thanks again!
