[PROBLEM] MCE IR Controller "Cypress USB Keyboard" not working

[equildi]

Hi,

I use the latest XBian 1.0a5 with XBMC 12.0, straight from the installer. Unfortunately my remote that acts as MCE remote does not work with it.

The IR receiver identified itself as Cypress Semiconductor Corp. Cino FuzzyScan F760-B in lsusb and is then mapped to /dev/input/event1 by udev.

I subsequently tried to force XBian using an MCE setup by copying /etc/lirc/hardware/mceusb_event1.conf to /etc/lirc/hardware/custom.conf (this is loaded first, right?) but the remote still doesn't work.

Furthermore: mode2 fails to start after a reboot, if I issue modprobe lirc_rpi it starts but outputs nothing and hangs (i..e. doesn't return to command prompt).


dmesg says
