<div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Can anyone explain how an RF remote control integrates with
mythtv? Since mythtv uses lirc, it seems like one would need to
use an IR remote. </blockquote><div><br>
I use a ATI Remote Wonder. It was recognized by FC3 but it was not
straightforward to make it work as a lirc device. Here is a list of
what I did:<br>
<br>
<div>1. # apt-get install lirc-kmdl-$KVER<br>2. # apt-get install lirc </div>
<div>
<div>3. rename /lib/modules/$KVER/kernel/drivers/usb/input/ati_remote.ko to
something else (e.g ati_remote.ko.orig)</div>4. Add "alias char-major-61
lirc_atiusb" and "alias lirc_dev lirc_atiusb" to modprobe.conf</div>
<div>5. # /sbin/chkconfig lircd on</div>
<div>6. Reboot to stop ati_remote.ko and start lircd</div>
<div>7. # chmod 666 /dev/lirc*</div>
<div>8. Either try Litwillers lirc.conf or see if <a href="http://www.lirc.org/">www.lirc.org</a> has a better lirc.conf or create
your own with irrecord.</div>
<div>9. Test it with irw. Remember to kill mythfrontend so that mythfrontend
does not lock the device.</div>
<div>10. Download Litwillers <a href="http://www.litwiller.net/mythtv/lircrc.txt">http://www.litwiller.net/mythtv/lircrc.txt</a> to /home/~mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc<br>
<br>
Maybe I also had to create a node for the lirc device with mknod between step 6 and 7.<br>
I sent this list to Jarod Wilson, but he still prefers to link from his
FC3/4 guides to Litwillers FC1 guide that is not complete.<br>
