[mythtv-users] Need help using ATI remote with 2.6.4 and LIRC

[Jeff Mottishaw]

There is a program called xev that reports what "keycode" each button of the
remote is sending (once you get the gatos module working), and then you can
build a .Xmodmap from there..

Xmodmap basically tells X that when it sees "X" it should interpret it as
"Y" so when you send a keycode 110 (pause) it will see it as a "p" or
whatever else you want it to be.

My .xinitrc

/usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap /home/myth/.Xmodmap &
/usr/bin/fluxbox &
mythfrontend

Example .Xmodmap

! QUIT
keycode 222 = Escape
! PLAY
keycode 168 = Return
! PAUSE
keycode 110 = p
! STOP
keycode 232 = x
! FULLSCREEN
keycode 140 = f
! EJECT
keycode 26 = e
! MUTE
keycode 160 = m
...

Here is the keycode for each button (as reported by my remote, some report
differently)


a
    keycode 38
b
    keycode 56
power/mute
    keycode 160

I've been tring to get my remote wonder going under 2.6.5 on slackware and
gentoo for a few days now.  I've tried compiling lirc 7.0pre4 but it has
problems with where some files are in the new kernels.  So I've given up on
lirc and would like to use the kernel drivers in 2.6.5.  Can some one point
me in the right direction here.  I'm not a big X man so I don't know much
about xmodmap and other utils in X.  Thanks

I could never figure out LIRC... I have 2.6.4 working with the gatos drivers
using xmodmap

I've used both and the lirc method  - both work fine.
The lirc method seems quicker and less likely to over run on key presses It
also makes controlling multiple other program with the remote easier.
