Setup

Wiring

Some information about wiring the DVD dongle to the pc can be found 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"

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!
