[linux-dvb] Nova-T-500 Remote & dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw

[Public Email]

Hi. I have just updated to the new firmware and updated the v4l-dvb  
drivers, installed the new modules and done a cold boot.

Everything is working nicely except for the remote. Pressing any key  
once results in constant key repeats. Killing lircd and restarting it  
doesn't stop them (it just carries on repeating the key that was  
pressed before killing lircd). It isn't the remote as removing the  
battery has no effect.

It all worked fine with dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw

Also dmesg is still being flooded with "dib0700: Unknown remote  
controller key:" with both firmwares and the latest drivers and there  
are several "dtv_property_cache_sync()" appearing every 5 mins too.

I am using gentoo with 2.6.24-tuxonice-r9 kernel.

Thanks
Alex

Hello.

I can confirm the problem reported in the email:
http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-October/029625.html

I tested using the v4l-dvb mercurial from today and when 
dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw is used the remote always repeats the last 
pressed key until the another key is pressed. If I use the same v4l-dvb 
drivers and the dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw the remote works just fine. The 
cold boot is required between the tests to see any difference.

However I can not get any "dib0700: Unknown remote controller key:" but 
dtv_property_cache_sync() appears in few minutes in the dmesg.

My system is:
Suse 11.0 2.6.25.16-0.1-default x86_64

I looked at the code and by making a lot of assumptions.... ;) I guess 
the call to the dib0700_rc_setup() from the dib0700_rc_query() wont 
erase the last IR code from the chip anymore if the new firmware is 
used...? However I really don't have idea how to fix it.. I would be 
happy to test anything if you have some suggestions.

BR.
