After about 2 hours of R&D, I figured it out, I could use this remote (using ati_remote2 module) with the help of xmodprobe. will post detailed how to sometime later, but here is the quick-n-dirty howto. <br><br>(1) Run from your xterm/gnome-terminal, xmodmap -pke > /somedir/sanekeys.txt
<br><br>(2) Save the following to a file, say map.txt in /somedir<br><br><pre>! power<br>keycode 222 = F1<br>! scan<br>keycode 229 = F2<br>! mute<br>keycode 160 = F3<br>! recall<br>keycode 133 = F4<br>! stop<br>keycode 232 = F5
<br>! play<br>keycode 179 = p<br>! <<<br>keycode 234 = Left<br>! >><br>keycode 233 = Right<br>! vol+<br>keycode 176 = F10<br>! vol-<br>keycode 174 = F11<br>! options<br>keycode 41 = o<br>! options1<br>keycode 136 = o
<br>! options2<br>keycode 140 = o<br>! escape<br>keycode 232 = Escape<br>! pause<br>keycode 110 = p<br>! ff<br>keycode 102 = Right<br>! rew<br>keycode 100 = Left<br>! arippa<br>keycode 158 = Escape<br>! red<br>keycode 54 = d
</pre><br>Here's how you can launch mythf/e:<br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>/usr/bin/xmodmap /somedir/map.txt | /usr/bin/mythfrontend 2>/dev/null;<br>/usr/bin/xmodmap /somedir/sanekeys.txt<br><br>Here's what it does, line 1 loads F/E with keymaps in
map.txt, when done, line 2 resets it to sane keymaps defined in sanekeys.txt<br><br>I will write up a detailed howto later.

Thanks. I did that, and loaded lirc_atiusb even manually. However, irw shows no key seqs rec'd. <br><br>Not that ati_remote2 is entirely useless - I could use Vol+, Vol-, Mute, the 4 arrow keys (except the OK in the middle) for myth right after plugging it in. But the native mappings appeared to be way off, and senseless to me.
<br><br>Now, if anybody using xmodmap on top on ati_remote2 would chime whether to keep it or not, that would have been helpfull. <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Dec 4, 2007 10:43 AM, John <
