maverick + lirc + antec veris usb IR

Hi !

I have bought a Antec Veris USB IR receiver (Soundgraph 15c2:0042) and a Sejin IR Keyboard.

First of all, I have tried to make lirc work with the IR receiver. Either with aptitude version of lirc or the compiled 0.8.7, I am not able to make it work.

When I am trying to use it with irrecord, (irrecord -d /dev/lircd recfile), it gets no signal from the included remote (Antec Veris RM100).

Has anyone got it to work ? Can anyone please give me some instructions ?

Second; I would like to know if this imon receiver could work with my Sejin IR Keyboard ?

Many thanks !!!

I forgot to say that I read the other threads and when I am trying to purge and reinstall lirc, this is what I get :

(selecting the "Linux input layer (/dev/input/eventX)")

Code:

---

sudo aptitude install lirc

I solved the first part; when reinstalling lirc and doing a dpkg-reconfigure lirc, the hardware.conf file had no reference to the device.

Does anyone knw about the Sejin keyboard ?

I mean, some things are unclear for me ; protocol and compatibility between receivers and remotes.

Thanks !
