I have the ATI Remote and it works well after applying the fixes for R5F27 from the wiki. I have read that the directional circle at the top of the remote should work as a mouse, however it doesn't work a mouse for me. It won't move the cursor. The remote works otherwise on my front end. I tried taking a look at the key assignments and when I press the left direction it shows me "Left", but not mouseleft. I’ve tried reading through the wiki’s, and forums, but I not sure where to start. I see information on .xmodmaps, but I’ve search my machine and I don’t have that file. Can someone guide me in troubleshooting this or telling me where to go read up some more? I’ll post any log files / config files if that will help. TIA.

As far as I can tell, the Dragon kernel mod for the ATI Remote Wonder removes mouse functionality.

Prior to installing the dragon ATI kernel, I had mouse functionality, but some of the buttons on the remote didn't function (with or without an xmodmap - they simply weren't detected as keypresses.)

For me, it ended up being better to lose mouse functionality on the remote but to regain functionality of some of those non-working buttons (i.e., channel +/-, OK, etc.).

Instead, I bought a IR keyboard with a built in mouse, and use it for the rare instances when I need a mouse on my KnoppMyth system.

"As far as I can tell, the Dragon kernel mod for the ATI Remote Wonder removes mouse functionality."

Ah.. how can you tell? I didn't have mouse functionality before applying the fix. Well, anyway your suggestiong of a wireless keyboard with a mouse is a good one. I'll do that and hopefull at some time the functionality will be restored or I'll just end up using the keyboard with a mouse. Which wireless keyboard / mouse do you use / recommend? Thanks.

If you use these steps, you will have mouse functionality using the older kernel module for the ATI Remote. This removes LIRC (which doesn't include mouse support.)



Unfortunately, not all the buttons will be detected with this module, most notably the OK button at the Channel +/- buttons.

You also need to use a custom modmap to get functionality out of many of the other buttons.

I'm not at home, so I can't give you much info on the keyboard I have, but I'll check when I get home.
