Created attachment 481948 [details] Aureal device descriptor workaround patch I have a cheap usb infrared remote control which is identified as 0755:2626 Aureal Semiconductor usb device. It has a mouse mode and a keyboard mode. Some of the remote buttons (arrow, enter, etc) do not work, because device incorrectly reports "keyboard logical maximum": http://forum.xbmc.org/archive/index.php/t-82772.html There is a kernel module that workarounds this problem when it's loaded before usbhid module: http://gitorious.org/hid-aureal-kernel-module Since the usbhid is compiled in fedora kernel, I prepared a little patch that compiles in this module as well. It cleanly applies on 2.6.35 kernels. Could this patch (maybe after some modifications) be included in stock fedora kernel ? Thanks.
This really needs to be sent upstream to be included in the Linux kernel sources first.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/476601/ It wasn't me, but the patch does the same thing. Does it counts as "sent upstream" ?

It counts, but that patch was rejected and asked for resubmission. Nobody did that apparently as it is still not in the mainline kernel. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg13606.html We aren't going to fix this in F14. The best chance is to move it to rawhide and have someone work with the people that run the gitorious project to resubmit the patch.
This driver has been queued up in linux-next: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git;a=commitdiff;h=212da74da783ba9d4459799f4aaecd5de217a312 It should show up in the 3.5 release.
That's a great news. Thanks!
The driver should be built in the next rawhide kernel build.
