Hama MCE Remote: does not care about lirc

[kometa_triatlon]

Hi guys,

I have a Hama MCE remote (this one), which works almost perfectly out of the box.

However, there is a small issue that bothers me: the volume down button does not work, while the volume up does.

This tutorial was of little help for me. First, mode2 produces this:

Code:

mode2: could not get file information for /dev/lirc0
mode2: default_init(): No such file or directory

irw does not produce any output at all (the remote is working though)

When I stop lirc service, the remote still works, so I assume it works as a "generic USB device" (whatever does it mean...).

Could somebody tell me, how does the remote work and how I can control its mapping?

Thanks in advance.
