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 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"
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
Template:Box File MORE SOON!
