If it was compiled as a module you should have seen that: CONFIG_INPUT_UINPUT=m So it seems that the problem is not uinput related... I will try to help you if it is possible (I need time and time is missing ). See you. Greg. - Grez - 2011-07-18 I don't quite believe this... I did a dist-upgrade to get the newest kernel (2.6.38-10-generic) and now it's working again. Well sort of. The newest version of the tarball downloaded from here still doesn't work (timestamp 2011-04-03 14:02), tried another make clean and make but still no joy. However I randomly tried an older version again, not the very first version but the one I had working before upgrading from maverick to natty (tarball timestamp 2011-01-28 09:39), and that now works again, without even recompiling!! I'm baffled but happy. Thanks Greg, you pointed me down the kernel road and that seems to be what fixed it, somehow! - MakGreg - 2011-07-18 FYI, I did some quick tests with this tarball and a mouse (I have no remote control here): $ wget -c http://www.coldsource.net/hid_mapper.tar.gz Timestamped 2011-02-24 10:23 and I faced no problem on my Ubuntu 11.04... After checking your update I realized that my kernel is the 2.6.38-10-generic one, this is maybe the reason why I didn't faced any problem. Well, that's fine as your problem is fixed Greg. - Grez - 2011-07-18 hmm the ones I have are the hid_mapper_beta.tar.gz , the only hid_mapper.tar.gz I have is the very first one I downloaded which did find the devices ok but not all buttons worked properly. I didn't realise that had ever been updated since that original version. Shame there are no version numbers to know which is which! - coldsource - 2011-07-19 Grez Wrote:Shame there are no version numbers to know which is which! It's my fault I should have set version numbers on archives. I must say I didn't thought I would release more than 1 version. I'll try to make a Wiki page somewhere to put a summary of all that has been said here. MakGreg : I don't know if it could be included in XBMC, but it could be a good thing as many remotes are now HID. The only thing that is missing is a graphical interface or an XBMC plugin to learn the commands. - MakGreg - 2011-07-21 Hello Coldsource, No problem for the version, you released a useful tool freely on you spare time to help some people who need it, we can't blame you! It seems Grez told that as a constructive remark not as negative one Of course it could be great to configure your HID mapper with a plugin or any GUI but you know that it takes time to release this kind of tool, If I was a coder I really would like have to... But I'm not Great idea for the Wiki page, If you know where to put it I can help for the content. Greg. - Snaek - 2011-08-16 Hai, I'm facing a rather weird problem with my No-Name MCE-Remote... it all worked well until I had to reboot my machine... I'm using XBMC-Live (latest release). The Problem is, that the remote now seems to send totally different hexcodes than before. for example: Code: before reboot: Anybody knows why? Thanks PS: the hexcodes NOT starting with a0 seem to work perfectly out-of-the-box with XBMC, no mapper needed, tho it jumps every now and then between various codes... currently I've got only for the RIGHT key: Code: a001004f:KEY_RIGHT I could not yet see any pattern in the time between the changes... - D.R.e.W - 2011-08-17 Hello All, I'm new to this thread ( and linux and XBMC Live) and seem to be missing something. I've installed the latest version of Live on a ASUS AT310NT-I Deluxe board that came with the same remote pictured in the first post. I down loaded the .tar.gz and uncompressed it. It created a directory called "hid_mapper_beta" then start following the directions & get: xbmc@XBMCLive:~/hid_mapper_beta$ make clean rm -f *.o rm -f hid_mapper xbmc@XBMCLive:~/hid_mapper_beta$ make g++ -c -Iinclude main.cpp make: g++: Command not found make: *** [main.o] Error 127 Is the g++ error because I'm running Live or am I missing a step that was "implied" in the directions? Thanx in Advance, DReW Linux XBMCLive 2.6.32-29-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 11 19:00:09 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux - MrFX - 2011-08-18 Hi, you have to install some developer tools. Best regards, MrFX Stuck after quitting XBMC - thevillain9 - 2011-09-06 I want to make some changes to my key mapping file, but after exiting xbmc, I see the following lines open in the terminal: Found HID Device Opened HID interface on /dev/hidraw2 Opened HID interface on /dev/hidraw3 Generic USB mapper driver setup I added the loading of the map file in my /etc/rc.local/ and now I can't seem to get into the terminal prompt. Any ideas? Thanks. - UsagiYojimbo - 2011-09-22 thevillain9 Wrote:I added the loading of the map file in my /etc/rc.local/ and now I can't seem to get into the terminal prompt. Any ideas? Thanks. Did you place a space and an ampersand (&) at the end of the command? EG: /path/hidmapper -options ... & - leorik - 2011-10-04 Has anyone got this to work in 11.04 with Jetway IR Remote? I'm getting the same error as everyone else. It lists the device, but won't work from there. I see somebody posted the jetway codes from before. Those don't work in the xbmc keymap file by chance, do they? - rapalax - 2011-10-07 I was able to get hid_mapper to work on 11.04 on my jetway by running as root explicitly. Sudoing didn't work for some reason. Now i just need to fine a nice map. - Bradburts - 2011-10-13 Hi, Thanks for writting this great utility. Have been pullin my hair out trying to get all buttons on http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001M56DI0 working. The remote works okish on Ubuntu Server 11.04 but the volume up does not seem to translate to a keycode. I can see IR codes using cat /dev/input/event4 | hexdump though. Being a linux newbie, is this utility going to work on Ubuntu Server? I aim to use your utility to fix the missing Volume Up and other 'missing' media buttons so that I can control a headless music player. I have gnome-core installed for VNC Server but don't usually start the server and will eventually drop that part of my install. I can see problems with my setup & this guide, I don't have /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ for example & would really like to know how far I this will run before I hit another dead end. |
