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!
