Description:
I have a Gotview IR remote that should work as a USB HID device. There were no corresponding nodes created at /dev/inpput when I pluged it in. I found there is more than one device with idVendor=0x0419 idProduct=0x0001. Also there was patch against 2.6.25 for hid_samsung.c which suppresses hidinput for all Samsung IR (0419:0001) in favor of hiddev (see http://markmail.org/message/geapncudwndrvxrn).

There is another bug report about similar device (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/326986). The devices differentiates by HID descriptor size. My device has two separate subdevices, one with 65 byte descriptor,
the other 135 bytes and I have the same issue described at last bug report.

Robert Schedel send me another patch against 2.6.30 which solved my problems with hidinput and key stuck.

Additional info:
kernel 2.6.29-ARCH

Files attached:
lsusb output for the device
dmesg messages with HID_DEBUG enabled
Robert Schedel's suggested patch
   lsusb.txt (2.5 KiB)
   dmesg.txt (20.7 KiB)
   samsung135b-2.6.30.patch (2.6 KiB)
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Upstream
Additional comments about closing:  Probably the patch will appear in vanilla kernel soon (if not is already on 2.6.31)

please try kernel 2.6.30

hid-input.c from 2.6.29 and 2.6.30 are identical. There is no chance to get it work with unchanged kernel driver.
