(Replaced content with " udevadm info -q all -n /dev/input/event3 udevadm info -q all -n /dev/input/event4")
Line 1: Line 1:
Now we write a new rules file for udev:
  udevadm info -q all -n /dev/input/event3
 
  udevadm info -q all -n /dev/input/event4
  nano /etc/udev/rules.d/10-irremote.rules
 
and put the following content in:
<pre>
SUBSYSTEM=="input",ATTRS{idVendor}=="05a4",ATTRS{idProduct}=="9881",ATTR{dev}=="13:68",SYMLINK="input/irremote0"
SUBSYSTEM=="input",ATTRS{idVendor}=="05a4",ATTRS{idProduct}=="9881",ATTR{dev}=="13:69",SYMLINK="input/irremote1"
</pre>
 
'''Note the numbers for ''idVendor'' and ''idProduct'' are the numbers we got from /proc/bus/input/devices.'''
 
Alternatively, you can avoid relying on specific minor numbers with:
<pre>
KERNEL=="event*",SUBSYSTEM=="input",ATTRS{idVendor}=="05a4",ATTRS{idProduct}=="9881",IMPORT{program}="input_id %p"
KERNEL=="event*",SUBSYSTEM=="input",ATTRS{idVendor}=="05a4",ATTRS{idProduct}=="9881",ENV{ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD}=="1",SYMLINK="input/irremote0"
KERNEL=="event*",SUBSYSTEM=="input",ATTRS{idVendor}=="05a4",ATTRS{idProduct}=="9881",ENV{ID_INPUT_MOUSE}=="1",SYMLINK="input/irremote1"
</pre>
 
Note that without the KERNEL match irremote1 is attached to a device sometimes which seems to be an inappropriate ioctl device (no event but only mouse).
 
Now restart udev and trigger a new discovery:
 
  restart udev #notice for Gentoo: rc-service udev restart
udevadm trigger
 
(Restarting udev is optional at least as of Ubuntu lucid, and likely others.)
 
Under /dev/input should now be two more symlinks: irremote0 and irremote1:
 
ls /dev/input
