[mythtv-users] Remote not working correctly due to Keyboard focus

[trev]

Hi all

In Mythtv if I go from live TV press EPG (on the remote), then use up/down (on 
the remote) to highlight the "Program Guide" press enter (on the remote) to 
select it I get the program guide.
Strangely at this point the up/down left/right buttons (on the remote) only 
work for one button press.
At this point I should explain something of my setup.  I am using an nvidia 
MX440 with vga and TVout and am running it as a two headed system without 
xinerama.  This allows me to use the computer on the net using my monitor and 
the TV for Mythtv.
If at the point where I have pressed a left/right up/down button once and the 
arrow keys no longer work (I can exit using the remote though) I launch:
xterm -display localhost:0.1
then immediately exit from the xterm by typing exit, the keyboard focus is now 
on Mythtv.  Now the arrow keys on the Remote work in the program guide.
Also when I want to shut down the computer and try to exit Mythtv I can get 
all the way to highlighting "Yes, Exit now", but unless the keyboard focus is 
upon Mythtv pressing enter on the remote at this point has no effect.  If I 
switch keyboard focus as mentioned above I can then press enter on the remote 
to exit the program.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards

Trev

P.S. If there is anyone else using a similar setup I would be interested to 
know if you are experiencing similar problems.

P.P.S Although I don't think this is relevant to this problem I am using an 
Adaptec Videoh! DVD Media Center card (AVC-2410).  If any one else wants to 
get one of these working I have put an explanation on the ivtv wiki:

along with a patch of lirc_i2c.c to get the remote working (which I also 
posted to the lirc mailing list)
