Well, I'm completely lost. I have installed XBMC live to a removeable harddrive and now I'm trying to get it to use an ATI Remote Wonder remote control I have here. It seems to use a few buttons natively (up, down, left, right & power and the mouse directions) but I can't seem to figure out how to make the rest work.
I read the sticked thread above that discusses remote controls, Google found me lircd.conf and hardware.conf files for the remote wonder. The thread said to stick them in the config folder on the xbmclive disk. My removeable harddrive has 3 partitions created by the installer, xbmclive, swap and xbmc. The xbmclive partition has a config folder so I saved the 2 files there using ubuntu on my laptop. I reconnected the removeable drive to the media pc and booted it. No change, just the same remote buttons worked as before. I checked the config folder again using my ubuntu lappy and the hardware.conf file is now gone from the xbmclive partition. I replaced it and tried again. Stil no luck, hardware.conf again MIA.
Anyway, I can follow directions but I really have no idea what I'm doing. Does anyone have an "Idiots guide" to getting this thing to work?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
