Title: Trouble With Belkin Keyboard And 3.5.3
Post by: phisch on September 02, 2005, 04:51:40 pm

I'm using OZ 3.5.3 as included with the Poodle Hentges ROM.

Bought a new Belkin keyboard (F8U1500) to use with my poodle.  Went through the contorted installation of irk-belkin with -force-depends to bypass the (unneeded?) lirc dependency.  My Z can receive IR messages from my phone with no problem with the irda applet on.  When I look through my digital camera at the keyboard irda port I see lights as I push the keys.

The "Belkin" input option comes up in the menu, and I have the irda applet off (it is gray).  I see no keypresses in any app that I've tried.  The "On" radio button is checked when I  select the Belkin input method.  My IRK settings are:
Keyboard: Belkin
Zaurus Model: SL5600/SLC7XX
Startup: IRK On

Network Settings show an "irda0" connection.  Should I have an irda1?

> ps -A | grep ira
1180 root        480 S   irattach /dev/ttyS

Any ideas?  Do I need lirc?  (Can't find a poodle version on the feed, but I did see Collie versions)  I'm willing to try anything from the command line.

Thanks in advance.

Okay, let me re-phrase the question.
Has anyone gotten ANY ir keyboard to work with OZ 3.5.3 on a poodle?  If so, what irk did you use, what keyboard do you have, and what contortions did you go through to make it work?
Thanks in advance!

could you try to rmmod all irda modules and then try irk? maybe irda0 block irda port...

I don't think I have any irda modules loaded.

pxa_bi

usbdcore

I tried killing irattach, and restarting it.  No effect either way.  What devices need to be present for this to work?  Just ircomm0?
Oh, I'm using Hentges ROM if that matters.
I noticed I don't have a kernel-module-irda installed.  I assume it's compiled into the kernel?
