| Post subject: | ATI REMOTE WONDER in R6 - lirc and kernel module |
Is it possible to use the ati_remote kernel module in R6? What is the procedure? The remote is currently working but keys are badly assigned and it's practically unusable. For what I can understand lircrc is fine (key assigment seem correct at first sight for my limited understanding), and seems identical to the one posted in flyspray http://linhes.org/flyspray/index.php?do ... ask_id=177. My ignorance does not allow me to understand if lirc.conf is fine, but it also seem identical to the flyspray one. |

I'm curious to know the answer to this too... if lirc is the only option in R6, I may have to stick with R5.5, since I find the kernel module much more usable. |

...you can't build the kernel module under R6? |

The kernel module is already there (I think): modprobe ati_remote shows no error. I don't know how to stop lirc and have the kernel module loaded regularly. |

After booting, this is what dmesg shows: usb 2-2: Weird data, len=1 ff 03 00 00 00 00 ... usbcore: registered new interface driver ati_remote ati_remote: 2.2.1:ATI/X10 RF USB Remote Control lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61 lirc_atiusb: USB remote driver for LIRC $Revision: 1.71 $ lirc_atiusb: Paul Miller <pmiller9@users.sourceforge.net> usbcore: registered new interface driver lirc_atiusb Is it my impression or the kernel module is loaded BEFORE lirc? Actually is more than an impression as if I type [root@mythfe2 luca]# rmmod ati_remote the remote stops working. It would seem that I am already using the ati_remote kernel module; the problem is that such module is assigning keys in a different way than the module I was using in R5.5 after following instruction from this post: http://knoppmyth.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.p ... =atiremote Needless to say that very important keys are missing (e.g. Esc, m, p, etc. Mythtv is practically unusable!) Is it possible to use the same ati_remote kernel module that was available in R5.5? can I just copy it from R5.5 to R6? |

To stop lirc it might be: Code: sudo sv stop lirc
See this wiki page for some R5.5 --> R6 "conversions." |

I managed to obtain a result. Using the R5.5 did not work. But in order to use it, I renamed the two kernel module /lib/modules/2.6.28-LinHES/kernel/drivers/input/misc/ati_remote.ko and ati_remote2.ko; no longer loading the kernel module allowed Lirc to work, showing perfectly acceptable performance and key mapping. Now I am satisfied. |
