<p>I wonder if the restart of X is a bug in X or if its designed to work that way...</p>
<p>It reminds me of how the design of OpenWRT and its ability to apply all changes except modifying the switch vlan settings.. only upon reboot...ugh.</p>
<p>Definitely less than 2 cents but i couldnt help but think that this may not be the way X is supposed to work. I'll attempt to figure that out, and file an xorg bug report if i cant find documentation detailing this aspect anywhere. </p>

I had a hard time<br>
figuring out how to get LIRC to work, as there are 1,001 Myth/LIRC<br>
tutorials out there on the 'net, most of which are out of date and the<br>
rest which disagree with each other. So after struggling for a while,<br>
I decided to just give up and use the kernel's built-in IR remote<br>
support, which works great. This website has pretty good<br>
documentation: <a href="http://atterer.org/mythtv-xmbc-remote-control-without-lirc" target="_blank">http://atterer.org/mythtv-xmbc-remote-control-without-lirc</a><br>
<br>
However, I have one important observation. That is that after running<br>
ir-keytable -w, you MUST restart X for any newly added keys to be<br>
recognized by X! (Modified keys will be recognized as their new<br>
assignments without a restart.) This cost me a long evening of<br>
frustration until I figured it out.<br>
<br>
I used this as a reference to map MCE remote codes to valid keyboard<br>
codes the kernel/X/Myth would recognize:<br>
<a href="http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/devices/lxr/http/source/linux/include/linux/input.h?v=2.6.11.8" target="_blank">http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/devices/lxr/http/source/linux/include/linux/input.h?v=2.6.11.8</a>.<br>
Remember that if you want to use remote buttons with default codes<br>
>255 (>0xFF hex), remap them to something <255 from input.h. And<br>
restart X!<br>
<br>
I have reproduced my keymap here in case it helps other MCE RC6 remote<br>
users. Most keys are the default Myth keybindings, there are only a<br>
handful of custom keys I needed to add into Myth's keybindings in the<br>
FE setup (I bound Prev/Next as TimestretchDEC/INC and the Asterisk as<br>
ToggleAspect after removing it from ArbSeek). The original default<br>
assignments are listed in comments.<br>
