| Post subject: | Help needed with ione Libra Q26 and R5D1 |
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 |

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. Code: !menu = 'list' keycode 58 = m !skip to next commercial break marker = 'check' keycode 31 = z Next, edit the file /usr/local/bin/KnoppMyth-run. Locate the line: Code: CMD2='exec mythfrontend' change it to say: Code: CMD2='exec xmodmap yourXmodmapFile | exec mythfrontend'
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 second, .xmodmaprc file: keycode 9 = Escape keycode 10 = 1 exclam keycode 11 = 2 at keycode 12 = 3 numbersign keycode 13 = 4 dollar keycode 14 = 5 percent keycode 15 = 6 asciicircum keycode 16 = 7 ampersand keycode 17 = 8 asterisk keycode 18 = 9 parenleft keycode 19 = 0 parenright keycode 20 = minus underscore keycode 21 = equal plus keycode 22 = BackSpace Terminate_Server keycode 23 = Tab ISO_Left_Tab keycode 24 = q Q keycode 25 = w W keycode 26 = e E keycode 27 = r R keycode 28 = t T keycode 29 = y Y keycode 30 = u U keycode 31 = i I keycode 32 = o O keycode 33 = p P keycode 34 = bracketleft braceleft keycode 35 = bracketright braceright keycode 36 = Return keycode 37 = Control_L keycode 38 = a A keycode 39 = s S keycode 40 = d D keycode 41 = f F keycode 42 = g G keycode 43 = h H keycode 44 = j J keycode 45 = k K keycode 46 = l L keycode 47 = semicolon colon keycode 48 = apostrophe quotedbl keycode 49 = grave asciitilde keycode 50 = Shift_L keycode 51 = backslash bar keycode 52 = z Z keycode 53 = x X keycode 54 = c C keycode 55 = v V keycode 56 = b B keycode 57 = n N keycode 58 = m M keycode 59 = comma less keycode 60 = period greater keycode 61 = slash question keycode 62 = Shift_R keycode 63 = KP_Multiply XF86_ClearGrab keycode 64 = Alt_L Meta_L keycode 65 = space keycode 66 = Caps_Lock keycode 67 = F1 XF86_Switch_VT_1 keycode 68 = m keycode 69 = F3 XF86_Switch_VT_3 keycode 70 = F4 XF86_Switch_VT_4 keycode 71 = t keycode 72 = F6 XF86_Switch_VT_6 keycode 73 = F7 XF86_Switch_VT_7 keycode 74 = F8 XF86_Switch_VT_8 keycode 75 = F9 XF86_Switch_VT_9 keycode 76 = F10 XF86_Switch_VT_10 keycode 77 = Num_Lock Pointer_EnableKeys keycode 78 = Scroll_Lock keycode 79 = KP_Home KP_7 keycode 80 = KP_Up KP_8 keycode 81 = KP_Prior KP_9 keycode 82 = KP_Subtract XF86_Prev_VMode keycode 83 = KP_Left KP_4 keycode 84 = KP_Begin KP_5 keycode 85 = KP_Right KP_6 keycode 86 = KP_Add XF86_Next_VMode keycode 87 = KP_End KP_1 keycode 88 = KP_Down KP_2 keycode 89 = KP_Next KP_3 keycode 90 = KP_Insert KP_0 keycode 91 = KP_Delete KP_Decimal keycode 92 = Print Sys_Req keycode 93 = Mode_switch keycode 94 = less greater bar brokenbar bar brokenbar keycode 95 = F11 XF86_Switch_VT_11 keycode 96 = F12 XF86_Switch_VT_12 keycode 97 = Home keycode 98 = Up keycode 99 = KP_Up keycode 100 = Left keycode 102 = Right keycode 103 = End keycode 104 = Down keycode 105 = KP_Down keycode 106 = Insert keycode 107 = Delete keycode 108 = KP_Enter keycode 109 = Control_R keycode 110 = Pause Break keycode 111 = Print Sys_Req keycode 112 = KP_Divide XF86_Ungrab keycode 113 = Alt_R Meta_R keycode 114 = Pause Break keycode 115 = Super_L keycode 116 = Super_R keycode 117 = Menu keycode 124 = ISO_Level3_Shift keycode 125 = NoSymbol Alt_L keycode 126 = KP_Equal keycode 127 = NoSymbol Super_L keycode 128 = NoSymbol Hyper_L keycode 134 = o keycode 144 = q keycode 152 = less keycode 153 = z keycode 156 = NoSymbol Meta_L keycode 160 = brokenbar keycode 164 = Escape keycode 174 = bracketleft keycode 176 = bracketright keycode 177 = r keycode 179 = p keycode 180 = greater 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. |
