No, not strictly simple. As I remember, I had to use the --force
option of the rpm command. See the man page for rpm. After
issuing the command, I seem to remember that mplayer didn't work, UNTIL
I had successfully installed LIRC. But this is all from memory, I
can retrieve the notes if absolutely necessary.<br>

Also I was only able to get theses buttons

work, they seem to repeat 4 times for every button I push.</span></font></p>

As noted above, I can go through the log books for the MythTV systems
and extract the notes. But, I'd rather not make that effort,
preferring instead to try to answer specific questions.<br>
<br>
Here are some of the other things needed to get the ATI Remote Wonder
working. Remember that most of these items are part of the LIRC
package, but you have to copy some files to the right place(s) for your
particular system.<br>
<br>
You will need a file called "/etc/lircd.conf" that matches your ATI
Remote Wonder. Most of the time, you can use one of the files in
the LIRC package. But, you can also use irrecord to make your own
file, one that you absolutely know will match. To use irrecord,
see the man page for it. The man page is pretty good, but I'm not
sure how clearly it states that you have to stop other programs from
running while you run irrecord. Also, irrecord requires one
specific device, /dev/lirc. You may have to create a symbolic
link to /dev/lirc0 on your system.<br>
<br>
But that's not all! The names you chose (or are already in place)
in /etc/lircd.conf, must match the names in the file.
~/.mythtv/lircrc. If they don't all match, then only those that
do match will work. (Like say maybe, up, down, left, right,
....) When the names don't match, the key doesn't work. For
example, one person might call the green key at the top "Power",
another might call it "On", or "System", or whatever. I had this
problem for the green key, and it was hard to track down, but very easy
to fix.<br>
<br>
Please read any and all documentation for LIRC that you can, as well as
the mailing list for LIRC. The mailing list can be found on the
LIRC website, <a href="http://lirc.org">lirc.org</a>, but <a href="http://news.gmane.org">news.gmane.org</a> has the archive and it's a
bit easier to search there (on gmane). Also please review your
LIRC installation, control files, etc. If you come up with what
you think is a good installation but it still doesn't work, then post
the details of the problem. I'll try to help solve specific
problems.<br>
