However, as of lirc 0.8.2, there is a lirc driver called "macmini" that requires that HID device to work. There is also a driver that creates an input device for the Apple IR sensor. It can be found in the mactel-linux patches[1], but it is not in the kernel yet. I also don't know how both sides behave if they are used concurrently. I think that the blacklist entry for USB_DEVICE_ID_APPLE_IR should be removed at least as long as the appleir.patch is not part of the mainline kernel. Please CC me in replies.
