<p>Bill,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I have the Eagle Tech silver case also, and thanks to your instructions
I’ve got the VFD to work right away. Thanks for the post. I am
still struggling to get the remote to work though. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I tried to follow the Firefly setup howto. I have 3 Holtek devices in the
/dev/input directory. Two of them show as events and one as mouse2 . I used cat
on all those devices. For the holtek-keyboard (event3) and for holtek-keyboard-mouse
(mouse2) the fast forward, stop, and top buttons on the remote don’t do
anything. The device holtek-mouse (event4) shows some activity when I
press the fast forward buttons on the remote but the output is very strange. (
I tried to use evx and the navigation buttons on the remote have a totally
different behavior than the numbers or OK buttons. I don’t know which one
is the hex character that should be read by lirc)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I assumed that the device I needed is event4 and created a symlink to that
device, that I can point to with lirc. I have installed lirc_i2c, and changed
the hardware.conf and lircd.conf in the /etc/lirc folder. When I run irw I get
the same error as before: the prompt doesn’t hang and I don’t get
to enter any keys from the remote. I don’t know if this is because of
lirc (irw seems to crash lircd) or some problem with the input device.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>How did you exactly setup your lirc to listen to the new /dev/input/ione
device (I called mine that, but is simply a symlink to event4). Any help would
be highly appreciated. It drives me crazy that I can’t pause or see the
menu guide from the comfort of the couch.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
