I've been trying to get the ATI Remote Wonder Plus to work under<br>
Ubuntu 8.10, with the stock 2.6.27 kernel. I found, in the MytTV<br>
wiki, a page that described what to do for the 2.6.24 kernel and<br>
attempted to apply the same patch to the 2.6.27 kernel. I ended up<br>
having to do it by hand (so I may have not done it right).</blockquote></div><div><br>I've got it working for 8.04, but I haven't upgraded to 8.10 yet, haven't seen any benefit yet. I've
just been manually patching the code when I update the kernel since
like 2.6.18. So when I upgrade, I'll do a look at the differences between 2.6.24 and 2.6.27 to ati_remote.c and apply the differences to my version that currently works under 2.6.24. There shouldn't be that man changes. But then again, I never bothered to use lirc with the remote, I just use it as a keyboard.<br>
<br>
But from the patches I've seen and done, you wouldn't be able to have something
that would be rolled into the kernel that would work out of the box. I
would think you would have to pass an option on to the module to tell
it to run the init sequences for the "plus" remote since it is the same
receiver, but different init sequences depending on the remote being
used. <br></div></div></blockquote></div><br>Mind sharing your current module source (with patch applied) ao that I
can compare it to my current moduel source (my attempt to hack in the
patch).<br>
<br>
Also, do you use the stock kernel or do you compile your own kernel (and not just the modules as I was trying to do)?<br><br>What's the extra options that you pass in when you load your modified kernel module to properly init?<br>
<br>Also, what do you mean you "just use it as a keyboard?"<br><br>I am really not familiar with what this remote is capable of. I just know that now that I have it I want to make it work in some way, some how.<br>
<br>So what, exactly, were you able to get working with this remote? How do you use it with MythTV?<br><br>Thanks for the response!<br><br>- AZ<br><br>
