<div class="entry-content">
<p>My HTPC lived a few months without an update to its <a href="http://www.aptosid.com/">aptosid</a> installation. When I subsequently did perform an update, I ran into some of the same problems I used to have with my Logitech wireless keyboard and iMON remote control. With the help of my <a href="./logitech-dinovo-edge-vs-aptosid.html">previous</a> <a href="./soundgraph-imon-pad-vs-linux-2636.html">blog posts</a>, I was able to set things straight rather quickly.</p>
<p>The solution to my original keyboard problem had been to replace <em>/usr/sbin/hid2hci</em> with a dummy version. In the meantime, <em>/usr/sbin/hid2hci</em> was superseded by <em>/lib/udev/hid2hci</em>. I simply replaced the new file with a dummy version as well.</p>
<p>As for the remote control, the current problem resembled a broken "nomouse" mode of the imon kernel module that I had encountered before. The module seemed to be OK this time, however, so I kept looking and eventually the LIRC manual offered a <a href="http://www.lirc.org/html/devinput.html">great description</a> of a LIRC-HAL interaction that seemed to match my symptoms. I tried following the advice from the manual but it just didn't work. It turned out the <em>DEVICE</em> setting in <em>/etc/lirc/hardware.conf</em> had become obsolete. The correct new setting is</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="n">DEVICE</span><span class="o">=/</span><span class="n">dev</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">input</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">by</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">id</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">usb</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="mi">15</span><span class="n">c2_ffdc</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">event</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">if00</span>
</pre></div>
<p>and the remote works like a charm again (for a while, anyway...)</p>
