[mythtv-users] help with ati remote and mythtv

[George Herndon]

hi,

i've built my pundit based system with a knoppmyth based hard drive 
install.

my video card is the ati remote wonder ve.  i'm trying to configure the 
remote and need some help / pointers.

i've installed the ati_remote 2.1.1 drivers from the gatos project and 
see feedback from 'cat /dev/input/mice' so i know my system is 
receiving commands from the remote. i followed the directions from the 
gatos project on sourceforge.  if you can't tell, i'm new to debian, 
and don't know where to go from here.

my question is, how do i program mythtv to accept input from the 
remote?  do i use an Xmodmap specific for my mythtv user?  do i create 
an Xmodmap just for the mythtv app?  if yes on either, where can i get 
a pointer on what the file should look like?

if no, then how are people doing this? i've read that the remote is an 
extension to the keyboard device, but the directions on install specify 
/dev/input/mice, so how can it be a keyboard device?

thanks, i'm looking to get smarter here, and to get my box running 
before fall us tv season.
