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!

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!

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

Hi,
you have to install some developer tools.
Best regards,

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.

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?

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.
