frustrated with xbox remote control
Posted: Thu Mar 17, 2005 5:54 am
Hi,
I'm trying to finalize my gentoox MCE / mythtv setup, and I'm almost done. Gentoox and mythtv are both working great, I just need to get the remote controller working.
I'm using mythtv 0.17 on gentoox mce 1.1 with the MS stock xbox remote and dongle. I followed one of the seemingly endless number of howto's out there, and got lirc 0.6.6 installed and running. irw shows that lirc is receiving the correct keypresses from the remote.
However, mythfrontend doesn't seem to be responding to the remote. I have a usb keyboard connected, and I can control the box with that, but the remote just doesn't seem to do anything.
I've tried removing the xpad kernel module; didn't seem to help.
The myth user has .lircrc in its home dir (see below for snip).
Any thoughts on what might be going wrong, or other troubleshooting
ideas I can try? I can't wait to sit back and use it, but it's a pain going up to the kb every time i want to pause or ff
Thanks for any help..
