Just upgraded from R5D1 to R5F27 without any major issues. There is one problem that's a bit of an annoyance, though.

I use the kernel driver for my ATI Remote Wonder. Per Cecil's instructions to solve a problem with lirc interfering with the kernel driver, I used the following commands to get the Remote Wonder working on F27:
Code:
/etc/init.d/lirc stop
update-rc.d -f lirc remove
rmmod lirc_atiusb
rmmod lirc_dev
rmmod ati_remote
modprobe ati_remote

cd /lib/modules/2.6.18-chw-13/misc/
mv lirc_dev.ko lirc_dev.ko.no
mv lirc_atiusb.ko lirc_atiusb.ko.no


Restored my custom .xmodmaps, rebooted, and the remote was working. Some buttons no longer worked, so I used XEV to find the new keycodes and update my .xmodmaps. Everything works, except now, the "OK" and Channel +/Channel - buttons on the remote are no longer detected as keypresses in XEV. The transmit light blinks on the remote, (and I have two, so I know it's not a hardware problem) but the system doesn't recognize it.

Does anyone have any idea why the kernel driver in R5F27 might not recognize these 3 buttons?

Has anyone else noticed this problem?

[EDIT] Using the ati_remote.ko used in the Dragon works as expected. New procedure for getting the ATI Remote Working:

Code:
/etc/init.d/lirc stop
update-rc.d -f lirc remove
rmmod lirc_atiusb
rmmod lirc_dev
rmmod ati_remote
cp /usr/lib/krp/Dragon/ati_remote.ko /lib/modules/2.6.23-chw-4/kernel/drivers/usb/input/ati_remote.ko
modprobe ati_remote
cd /lib/modules/2.6.18-chw-13/misc/
mv lirc_dev.ko lirc_dev.ko.no
mv lirc_atiusb.ko lirc_atiusb.ko.no
reboot

I just replaced my zapstream for the wireless ATIremote. Previous autoinstall with the ATI plugged in gave me most buttons. I did notice that the quick keys like TV, WEB and the others that were not setup. I thought I'd just need to mod the keymap.

I'm hoping to find that post tonight.

@s1148625 - you ever get yours working? I just reinstalled my frontend after a HD crash and the only buttons on my ati wonder that work are up, down, left, and right.

I ended up having to map keys other than "OK" and Channel +/Channel - to accomplish those tasks. Under the current kernel driver for the ATI Remote, those three buttons (and a few others that I've never used) don't register as keypresses in xev.

You can create a custom xmodmap to get those keys that aren't mapped correctly by default, but some keys just no longer work.

If anyone else has come up with a solution, I'd love to hear about it.

As would I. This also happens with the ATI Remote Wonder II which uses the ati_remote2.ko kernel module.

Can you PLEASE copy your conf file into this post. It would save me some time recreating what you already done.

Thanks
