As of the 2.6.36 kernel, the userspace commands lsinput and input-kbd no longer work. And if I grab newer/patched versions of those from the latest Ubuntu 10.10, then those newer/patched versions do not work with kernels *before* 2.6.36.I planned on taking another look at this before we release Ubuntu 11.04 at the end of April. That doesn't prevent someone else from helping out :), but I'll make sure the utility is working again if not.Here you go:
That patch was not enough for me to get input-kbd working here on Ubuntu-10.10. It would still only let me map 10 keys of my 56(?) button remote. I also had to hack it to ignore the read-in map->size value when writing-out the new keymap. Cheers
