remote control

Post by gasranas »

First time gentoox user, long time linux user.

Has anyone had any joy getting the xbox remote control working with gentoox with either mplayer (preferable) or as a (less favourable) substitute, freevo ?

I've done a fair bit of reading around about it, and can find out that it (might) need lirc (and the lirc homepage seems to have a control input for the xbox controller)

I emerged the ebuild for lirc, got the control file mentioned above, started the service, but nothing happens, and nothing appears in the logs.

Enough ramblings from me, I guess I'm asking for some help from somebody who has got it working to give me a step by step guide to getting it up and running on mine.

Gas.
