Thanks Scott for you reply.. From IRW I get the same results as I got
from IRCAT Just the numeric keys and the volume up/down generate any
kind of response... The numeric keys print out their corresponding
number. The volume up/down pops up a slider in a separate window which
responses with the slider moving left or right as the volume up/down
buttons are pressed.
I got the lircd.conf file from the distribution directory -
/usr/share/lirc/remotes/hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge which has
several definitions in it for different hauppauge remotes. One of those
seems to be the correct one for my remote as it describes it and has
definitions that match exactly the set of buttons on my remote. And it
appears to be the same as the lircd.conf for the Hauppauge PVR 350 found
on the lirc website.. So I think it should be correct...
Marc..
