I bought an "ione" brand Libra Q26. It consists of a 51 key remote
and a USB receiver. R5D1 sees this as a USB keyboard, I don't
think lirc gets involved at all. Pressing "Enter" on the remote is
just like pressing "Enter" on my keyboard, even in a text mode
screen.

Any idea how one makes this play nice with knoppmyth ? Right
now, only a few keys (up, down, left, right, 0-9, and enter) "work"
with mythtv.

Thanks in advance,
Bill

I am thining about getting a new remote. Did you ever get this working?

Nope. No replies other than yours, as you can see.
Fortunately, you can at least watch tv and recordings using
the keys that DO work.

Bill

Try using xev from a terminal window to see what the key codes are for the keys on the remote. Then use xmodmap to match the keycodes with the hotkeys in mythtv. You can look at the man file for xmodmap but here is a few lines from the file I created.

Next, edit the file /usr/local/bin/KnoppMyth-run.
Locate the line:

change it to say:

where yourXmodmapFile is the file that you created and you should be able to program the unused keys on your remote. The only thing that I have found that you don't really want to do is change the mapping of a key that is already mapped to something on your remote, like the letter 'l'. If you do that every time you type a letter 'l' on your keyboard the new mapping will take it's place. At one point I did this and I had no way of typing a letter 'l'. If you do some searching you can find a way to create a file to reset your mappings back to the default when you are not in myth.

I'll try it and let you know how it goes.

Thanks a lot!

Bill

I did as you suggested and used xev and xmodmap to re-map
some of the events from the remote.

Here are my results.

First, a shell script that documents what the remote emits (via the
USB receiver which interprets the IR and makes "keystrokes")
and also invokes xmodmap to patch individual buttons.

Second, an .xmodmaprc file you can use as you suggested when
invoking /usr/local/bin/KnoppMyth-run (though I haven't done that
yet.)

shell script remfix.sh:

# xmodmap patch file for iOne brand Libra Q26 remote + it's USB receiver
# to build .xmodmaprc:
# ./remfix.sh
# xmodmap -pke | grep -v "=$" >.xmodmaprc
# vol up
xmodmap -e 'keycode 176 = bracketright'
# vol down
xmodmap -e 'keycode 174 = bracketleft'
# chan up
xmodmap -e 'keycode 99 = KP_Up'
# chan down
xmodmap -e 'keycode 105 = KP_Down'
# mute = 160
xmodmap -e 'keycode 160 = brokenbar'
# play = 179
xmodmap -e 'keycode 179 = p'
# stop = 164
xmodmap -e 'keycode 164 = Escape'
# pause = 110 = (Pause?)
# record = 177
xmodmap -e 'keycode 177 = r'
# record 152 rewind <<
xmodmap -e 'keycode 152 = less'
# record 180 forward >>
xmodmap -e 'keycode 180 = greater'
# record 144 rewind to beginning |< = skip to previous commercial break marker
xmodmap -e 'keycode 144 = q'
# record 153 forward to end >| = skip to next commercial break marker
xmodmap -e 'keycode 153 = z'
# more info = 134 = "onscreen" menu
xmodmap -e 'keycode 134 = o'
# blue "pictures" = 237
# eHOME = 64 115 108 = Alt_L Super_L KP_Enter
# TELETEXT = 71 = F5 = toggle closed captioning/teletext (hit twice)
xmodmap -e 'keycode 71 = t'
# F1 = 67 = F1
# F2 = 68 = F2 = different on screen menu
xmodmap -e 'keycode 68 = m'
# F3 = 69 = F3
# F4 = 70 = F4
# CLEAR = 9 = Escape

Thanks for all your help. While not optimal, the Q26 is now much more
usable since I can control volume, pause, fastforward, which I couldn't
do before.

Bill

Another tip that I have is that I keep my xmodmap file in a folder in /myth so that when I do a backup before upgrading to the latest release of knoppmyth all I need to do to get the remote working again is edit KnoppMyth-run after the upgrade.
