Hello, I'm sorry to bother you all with a support question, but I have really tried hard to answer my problem with guides on the web and just can't get there. Mythbuntu pretends to have a configuration utility for my remote (Mythbuntu-control-center), but it doesn't help me either. I have a bttv 34 Winfast 2000XP card and Mythbuntu 8.10. The number keys (0-9), enter key, suspend key and various other keys on my remote work as if I had hit the corresponding keys on the keyboard. Unfortunately, the cursor keys on the remote double as channel/volume keys and don't work as cursor keys on a keyboard. That is a shame as I would be more than happy just to have enter and the cursor keys working. irw, mode2, irrecord and LIRC all do not work. I found some information on the Internet that said the remote was being detected as a keyboard and that I had to add a hal rule to stop this happening before LIRC would work, as hal was capturing things before they could get to LIRC: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1050558.html Using that, I wrote a rule and stopped the remote being detected as a keyboard. Unfortunately, that didn't help me get LIRC working. I have followed various guides on the Internet, but none have worked for me. When I sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc and choose my card (it is in the list), it can't start LIRC. When I look in /dev/, there is no /deb/lirc, /dev/lircd, /dev/lirc/0 or anything remotely similar. I tried asking a question on Ubuntu first: https://answers.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+question/54983 but, as nobody has been able to help me, I am hoping someone on this list can steer me in the right direction. Thanks in advance, Aaron |
