You need to use the dragon kernel mod for your ati remote wonder to work properly with R5F27. Credit goes to many people for this including cesman. The key was copying over the dragon kernel mod which is something I figured out but forgot about! Anyway do this:



That removes lirc if you had it installed.

Now do this:



Finally, do this:

Does this fix make the OK and channel +/- buttons work again?

Is the OK button the center one? If so, yes. I dunno about the +/- buttons. I just powered off that machine (front-end in my basement). I can check it out for you tomorrow when I watch it while working out on the treadmill. I'm thinking the channel +/- button works though.

You can try this yourself in a non-destructive way simply by stopping lirc, but not adding the remove from the rc.d.

In other words:



Then go ahead and copy the kernel module and install it. I dunno if a reboot is needed or not, but once the module is installed, you can issue the lirc stop again and it should just work.

You can remove the ati_remote kernel module with a rmmod command as described in the process of removing the lirc mods.

Please try it and let us know

Works like a charm - the buttons that previous were non-functioning with the kernel driver are working again. Thanks!

Cool man, glad to hear it! Wonder how many other folks in here are using the Ati Wonder wo/ the dragon kernel mod?

Yeah, I can verify that the channel +/- button works

@martin - I wonder if that testing build uses a different kernel that's not compatible with that "older" dragon module. This issue is over my head. Perhaps someone else can help.

Too bad there isn't an ati_remote2.ko out there for those of us using the ATI Remote Wonder 2. Maybe I'll give this a shot tonight when I get home and see if it works anyway.

This fix worked for me to get the kernel module working for the Ati wonder remote. The round button at the top for the mouse control doesn't work for me however.

Mine works as a faster alternative to the arrow keys. I'm not sure if it was meant to work as a mouse or not.

As an aside, what version of the nvidia drivers are you using w/ your 6200?

I followed this to get my ATI remote working, but I can't find any up-to-date information on how to customize the buttons. I've found a couple threads from as far back as 4 years ago that involve downloading old modules that the Dragon versions are supposed to replace.

My 2 biggest problems are:
1. It's been trial and error to figure out what keys the buttons are mapped to.
2. The remote is extra sensitive. When I press a button, It can repeat as many as 4 times.

Is there an equivalent of a .lircrc configuration file where I can map the keys to what I want them for each application and add in the "skip" options? If not and I have to recompile the drivers, is there a step-by-step list of instructions for the new Dragon module, because I'm an extreme amateur when it comes to Linux.

Thanks ahead of time.[/list]

I'm not sure what drivers I'm using. . I didn't have to do anything special. I'm just using s-video out from the 6200 to the s-video in of my TV.
