No input on LXDE on Raspbian

[shakaraba]

Hi,

I am running libcec-daemon as pi user and from root user without problems from console. When I execute startx or sudo startx and enter LXDE the input is not passed to LXDE.

If i run libcec-daemon from LXDE it does not show any errors but doesn't work.
I tried chmod 666 /dev/uinput without luck.

I does not show any errors in the libcec-daemon or in syslog.

I'm running Raspbian (2013-02-09) updated with libcec 2.0.5-1

Can you run libcec-daemon with extra logging (libcec-daemon -vv), and paste
in the logs

The libcec-daemon is configured as keyboard but is not working, maybe this config is remapping the keys or something. If i remove the config file the keyboard and the libcec-daemon are not configured as keyboards but are not working.

[phippodoplis]

Not working for me either, not on Raspbian but PC with Debian Wheezy so likely the same problem with uinput. I'll see if I can knock up a test script to send keys to uinput like libcec-demon does.

[phippodoplis]

After this commit SHA: ab5a3c1 I can hack src/main.cpp to send a few events and it does work with mythfrontend (and xev). Will try on the real system on Friday and report back.

[phippodoplis]

It's working, sort of. I get key events but holding down a button does not give repeats. The commit above does not make much sense, why does the version of libcec affect the type of events sent to uinput? I would have thought that you send KEY_REPEAT if you haven't sent a KEY_UP and send a KEY_PRESSED otherwise.

[phippodoplis]

Not sure what's happening but I am getting key repeats working now.
