I got a SoundGraph iMon Mini remote control and I am trying to make it work as a controller for MythTV.
I bought it from Newegg under the Antec brand name.
Antec Multi-Station EZ External IR receiver and remote
It is now a "deactivated item" whatever that means. And I don't even have it going yet! Wow.
The lsusb command says this about it: Bus 004 Device 002: ID 15c2:0042 SoundGraph Inc.
This information looks promising: http://old.nabble.com/Antec-Veris-Multimedia-Station-E-Z-%28was:-Antec-Veris-Basic-and-LIRC%29-td22093148.html
and this http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=40290
I downloaded the lirc code via CVS and built it for a SoundGraph iMon controller.
I am running Ubuntu 9.10
In dmesg I see this
[ 600.570012] usb 4-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
[ 600.732026] usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

and I don't really want it being recognized as an HID device so I block that off as described in the Nabble page. But this alas does not work, I try renaming the file usbhid.conf not usbhid and I try unbinding by doing dmesg to find the right numbers then doing
