I just bought an ASRock ION 330HT, and discovered that the remote control is not working (using XBMC Live based on 9.11 alpha 2). I was a little unsure if it was something I did wrong, but reading this thread it becomes apparent that this is a general problem. As I can see it, there are 3 options:
1. Wait for the vendor to release a linux driver.
2. Use windows instead
3. Buy a separate USB IR receiver and use this instead.
Option 1 is really only an option if a driver is right around the corner and so far we do not have any information that will support this.
Option 2 is in my opinion not a good solution until the porting from OpenGL to DirectX is completed since hardware acceleration is only supported on linux at the moment.
Option 3 is probably the one I will go for, since a new usb IR receiver is not that expensive. Can anyone please recommend a usb IR receiver that is compatible with XBMC Live and MCE (so that I can use one of my 3 MCE remotes...)??
