Thank you for your help. Yes of course. It is Infrared remote multimedia. dmesg lirc_mceusb2: Philips eHome USB IR Transceiver and Microsoft MCE 2005 Remote Control driver for LIRC $Revision: 1.51 $ lirc_mceusb2: Daniel Melander , Martin Blatter Bluetooth: HCI USB driver ver 2.10 usbcore: registered new interface driver hci_usb usb 7-2.1: reset full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6 lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 0 lirc_mceusb2[6]: BB+?BB+ Dongle( on usb7:6 usbcore: registered new interface driver lirc_mceusb2 My remote is a Philipps RC6, sold under the brand HP dv9540eb If I recall correctly, there was KDE 3.5, a programmme configuration remote controls.
