I installed the latest xbmcfreak iso for my
Asrock ION 330 HT.
XBMCFreak Nuvoton 10.00 Experimental version 1 [
link] [
download]
Sadly, the remote didn't work - like the last time. (does it ever work
)
Linux XBMCLive 2.6.32-27-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 1 23:52:12 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS - XBMCLive Welcome to Ubuntu!
So I used
X3lectric's instructions [
here]
Note to X3lectric - I found your links hard to copy/paste as you didn't code your links.
However, Bingo ! remote is working with resume ! what a dream.
What I did:
(1) installed the xbmcfreak release (as above).
(2) I booted to xbmc, pressed control+alt+F2 to get to the Terminal. I typed in ifconfig and determined the IP address of the XBMC box (It was
192.168.1.118)
Quote:root@XBMCLive:~# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 90:xx:xx:xx:xx:x
inet addr:192.168.1.118 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
(3) Then I downloaded PuTTy [
here] on my Windows PC on the LAN. Ran putty.exe, entered the IP of the XBMC and logged into the XBMC from the Windows PC.
Essentially I just copied these commands (i used the x32 version) and the pasted them into PuTTy
Note: to paste things to putty just right click on the screen.
Code:

The remote worked right away. Thanks X3lectric
X3lectric reminds you that:
Quote:Your remote should work staright away without reboot BUT
If after this your remote dont work try:
dpkg-reconfigure lirc (you may need to run this several times untils theres no errors)
Always select nuvoton receivers and transceivers on first screen and "none" on second...
IMPORTANT Please ensure you dont have PAE kernels...
ONLY linux-image-generic x86 or x64 or 386 are compatible with the drivers.
