LinHES

Hi ...
I have problem with mceremote ... but are there different versions of that remote?

My remote is recognized and the following modules are loaded ...

[root@wohnzimmer2 ~]# lsmod |grep -i mce
lirc_mceusb2 13700 0
lirc_dev 13364 1 lirc_mceusb2
usbcore 132080 5 usb_storage,lirc_mceusb2,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd

Hi ...

Thanks ... MCE Remote now works on .05 standard installation :-) ... maybe only the mapping of some keys is a little bit bad :-) ... I try to change it and send an alternate config file ...

Martin, This item is for the MCE Remote Keyboard ref: http://www.microsoft.com/danmark/hardware/systembuilders/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=001. Not just the MCE remote. I just tried with .06 and the keyboard still does not work. The keyboard uses the same receiver as the mce remote, but the Linhes .06 setup only allows the remote to work. To configure the system to allow the remote AND keyboard to work, the lirc_mod_mce.ko module must be used instead of the lirc_mceusb2.ko module. The wiki page http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=Media_Center_Edition_Remote_Control covers how this was done for R5.5, but I have no Idea how to update the installer to include lirc_mod_mce.ko. I'm going to need help from cesman or jams to get this to work.

I just tried installing a version that cesman made available to me to see if the MCE keyboard worked in the installer. The keyboard sort of worked in that it received keypresses, but for each keypress, it behaved as if the key was held down. So it would type the letter, pause briefly and then repeat the letter rapidly. I switched to a virtual console (ctrl-alt-f2) and when I typed in that console, it did not have the same problem, however when I held a key down, it wasnt repeated. Any suggestions as to how to track this issue down?

I found some info in this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-941129.html

7. Now download the lirc_mod_mce v.0.1.5 file from http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...kage_id=203215 (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=171688&package_id=203215), but be sure to download version 0.1.5 and NOT the v0.2.0. The later one has the famous "keypress repeats forever"-bug and should be avoided. Unpack the archive on e.g. your desktop.

I worked out how to build packages on a linhes install and built a lirc package using lirc_mod_mce-0.1.5 instead of the 0.2.0 and lo and behold it works.

I bumped the pkgrel in the package from 6 to 7.
Updated the lirc_mod_mce.patch and the PKGBUILD.
Updated the md5sums.
Attached is the resulting source package.

Please incorporate and close this task.

Update to version -10 of the lirc pkg and see if it works.

Tested -10 and it works fine. Thanks. I look forward to the next release where this is available in the installer.
