[mythtv-users] Re: Combination RF/IR remote?

[Chase Douglas]

I found the lirc_atiusb driver and it worked with niveus out of the box. So 
there's currently two drivers for the remote, the lirc_atiusb and the kernel 
ati_remote driver. Of course the lirc driver works through lirc. The kernel 
driver allows for the mouse to work and the other buttons act as if they were 
just keyboard buttons.
