[LIVE]IR Remote not working even after disabled from hal - jacksonliam - 2011-06-17 I have XBMC live (10.1) installed to a CF card in a CF-IDE adapter on my new HTPC. The card is a Technotrend S1500 I have been trying for 3 days to get this remote working. I installed evtest and it shows the buttons and works perfectly at detecting them from /dev/input/event4 However after setting up LIRC using 'irrecord' the remote still wasnt working properly. irw gave no output except what the remote spammed to the console. I get up/down/left/right, the numbers and the volume buttons and that is about it, play and pause sometimes work and only 3/5 button presses are detected. I got this out of the box and nothing has changed since setting up LIRC. Enter/OK and back/Exit/Power buttons arent working. The numbers/directions output to the console if you press them while in console. I have added the remote in every way possible to the lirc.fdi file in /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty/ It shows up under lshal | less as info.ignore = true So I don't know why the remote is still treated like a keyboard when lshal says it's ignoring it and why nothing shows up on IRW. Thanks in advanced for any info that could help! - jacksonliam - 2011-06-18 Solved this problem by using info from here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Streamzap_PC_Remote to add: Quote:Section "InputClass"to the end of /etx/X11/xorg.conf Since these changes XBMC live seems painfully slow to start up, stuck on the screen with 5 dots for ages, but at least irw is now working and the remote isn't being seen as a keyboard |
