Wow, a lot of activity since I was last around. Great to see everyone helping out!
The PPA has been updated for oneiric, no need to hold the package any more; sorry about that. In my experimental PPA, there's a newer version that does some magic with the sixaxis controller. I haven't vetted it, but the additional code came from Fedora, so it should be fine.
Re: Print Screen. I think the definition to use is KEY_SYSRQ (but I could be wrong, haven't tried). I don't know why they used that instead, but I imagine it's because the original PC-XT spec doesn't have a print screen key -- only later did people reuse the key for print screen usage.

Right. so Remote is all working. I just can't find out how to get it to wake up the device (and which mode do you put it in 'standby / hybernate / off?)
If anyone can point me in the right direction i'll be truly greatful.
Thank you

Ah right. so my only option is to leave it running 24/7.. grr not really what i'd want. Can anyone (in the UK) recommend me a good 'out of the box' remote then to use with this set up?
thank you

1. First of all, a question for kitlaan - you say: "The PPA has been updated for oneiric, no need to hold the package any more; sorry about that".
I'm not sure what you mean by that? Do you mean that there are unncessary steps in my posting from "2011-12-30, 16:08", or what?
2. I've been looking at the remote control power consumption. With mine, on standby the remote control draws 0.12 mA.
Then if you press a button on the remote control it establishes the bluetooth connection and the consumption goes up to about 14 mA.
However the timeout doesn't seem to work.
The power consumption goes back to standby when you unplug the Bluetooth dongle, power down the mythbox or issue 'sudo service bluetooth stop'.
But if you press a button and just leave it, the consumption stays at 14 mA.
I set:
IdleTimeout=30
(and restarted the bluetooth service) but it doesn't time out after 30 seconds - in fact 40 minutes on it's still drawing 14 mA.
I tried running it in debug mode by issuing the following:
sudo service bluetooth stop
sudo bluetoothd -nd
The debug messages show when a key is pressed and released, but there are no timeout messages, etc.
Does anyone have any suggestions about this?
Thanks very much - Vaughan

Is there any reason why the Revo will not be saving my edited files after I have made sure the USB00-03 are listed for Wake on Lan?. It wokes if i remote on to the machine but if I fully power down it will not WOL. Seems the unit doesn't keep the USB settings to accept wake on lan.
any ideas?

Is it possible to map two keys to one button in input.conf?
I want to map ALT-F4 and ESC to the eject button.
