I have tried pressing all the buttons on the remote and I have yet to find a way to get out of any submenu, or any functional part of the system. I know in the release the remote is found as soon as I plug it in, but if I get stuck in one menu, then the remote becomes useless doesn't it?

Did anyone ever get this working?
I tried using the xmodmap trick, but it doesnt appear to be working.
I have inserted exec xmodmap into the KnoppMyth-Run file to try to get it to startup...

Any help on this?

This seems to be a problem where the stop key (in R4) mapped to ESC. It doesn't seem to be mapped that way anymore. I tried this with R5A12 and it is that way.

Is there a way to map this to ESC?

Ha, something I can finally help with.

Under R5, the escape key maps to the POWER button on the Remote Wonder. That should let you get out of menus but it's not as convenient as before.

I have the xmodmap working as well. I have it running after KnoppMyth-run in ~/.fluxbox/apps (or whichever fluxbox setting is responsible for startup apps, I forget right now).

A couple of things kept this from seeming to work at first, not the least of which was the keymap numbers for the remote having seemed to change from when I first created my .xmodmaprc.

I followed these directions:

http://remotew.free.fr/linux_en.htm

(start where it talks about editing XF86Config-4) and it is now working fine, including resetting stop key to Escape.

I checked the ati_remote.c in /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.9-chw/drivers/usb/input/ati_remote.c and it seems to be the same as what was previously posted here (http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=680&highlight=ati+remote). Is there something else wrong?

The power button doesn't escape for me either. In the code it goes to KEY_POWER.

I have exactly the same problem.
Where is the file where i can configure the buttons???

I also have the same issue.
Could this please be added to the next alpha or beta (if it may be)
Thanks, Edward.

Have you tried out the link I posted? Make sure you've configured your XF86Config-4 file as it specifies. I don't think xmodmap adjustments worked until I added the Remote Wonder as it specified.

If I use the xmodmap method with R5A12, do I have to map every key on the remote, or just the keys I want to change (i.e. Stop=Esc)?

This is probably a total newbie question, but I'm following the instructions at http://remotew.free.fr/linux_en.htm to try and create an .xmodmap file to remap stop to esc. However, there is no executable xmodmap file (at least that I can find) in R5A12. I tried apt-get, but it gave an error saying it was a virtual package and I should explicitly pick one to install. I'm way over my head now. Can anybody help me out?

You can map just the keys you want to change; the rest will stay at their default.

Do a "locate xmodmap" and see where it is. I know I didn't have to install it. It might not be in one of the usual executable paths so you might have to specify the entire path.

OK... locate xmodmap worked great... When I've located it, and try to exec, now I get an error message


Then it logs me out of root and I'm back to a login prompt.

Any suggestions?

any X type programs need to be run as mythtv. for security purposes debian does not allow any users even root to attach to another users Xserver.

Thanks for the tip... I logged in as mythtv this time. My .xmodmaprc file is located in /home/.xmodmaprc

I typed:

exec xmodmap /home/.xmodmaprc

then I tried:

xmodmap /home/.xmodmaprc

both gave me the same result...



This is driving me nuts! I just want to be able to disconnect my keyboard from the box and be able to run with just the Remote Wonder... but I can't until I can get something mapped to Esc.

Thanks for any advice somebody can provide!
