View source for Xbox DVD Dongle

This howto focuses on howto get the Xbox DVD dongle to work on a standard pc.
==Device information==
Supported remotes:
:*Xbox DVD remote (duh)
:*Remotes with the rca protocal ( I have not tested this yet! )

==Setup==
===Wiring===
Some information about wiring the DVD dongle to the pc can be found [http://dlangenberg.googlepages.com/diycomputerremote here].
===Installation===
====Gentoo====
If you are running Gentoo then be thankfull the patch for the Xbox DVD dongle is in the portage.
Add this line to '''/etc/make.conf'''
 LIRC_DEVICES="xboxusb"

{{Important}}'''Note:''' atiusb and xboxusb conflict with each other and only one will work at the same time.


Now just run
 # emerge lircd
Now use the config from the bottom of the page.
The next thing you need to do is test to see if it works. Because it is using a new driver if you have it plugged in then you need to unplug it and plug it back in. Now start lircd
 # /etc/init.d/lircd start
then run
 # irw
and watch to see if your button presses are showing up!

== Configuration ==
{{Box File|/etc/lircd.conf|
