Additionally, as soon as I booted into Dharma, my Power-on via remote started working again! I swear to everything I know, I'm not making this up. Somehow, I suspect it's the IR_PROTOCOL=1 option I'm able to set in Dharma which I'm not able to set in Eden. I think it does exactly what it says, it switches the protocol of the IR reciever on hardware level. Somehow in Eden I have the wrong protocol turned on and are not able to fix that. Note again that I'm NOT using the imon remote that came with the Antec case, I've bought a standard MCE comaptible one and I'm trying to use that. I'm 100% sure it uses a different IR protocol, that's the reason why I had to use the mentioned option in /etc/modprobe.d/lirc_imon.conf in Dharma. I'm not sure if every imon reciever with mce remote setup need this, but mine obviously does. BTW I got the information about /etc/modprobe.d/lirc_imon.conf settings from a guide on this forum.
As I said, I'm getting no response at all now in Eden. Just for reference, the things I tried in Eden for now:
1. Post #16.
2. After that I saw my keys ONCE with ir-keytable -t, until reboot. Then again nothing.
3. Post #29, but again, nothing. Not in XBMC, not in ir-keytable -t
You have since updated Post #29, so I think I will install Eden from scratch and then again make all the steps mentioned in #29 from a clean configuration. In the meantime, any other suggestions?
Do you use any instant messaging services? I'll help you with this.
Try this: ir-keytable -w /lib/udev/rc_keymaps/imon_mce and --protocol=Other
Then: ir-keytable -t
Then mash a few buttons and see what happens.
Thanks man, that did it!!
Without the --protocol=Other, just 'sudo ir-keytable -w /lib/udev/rc_keymaps/imon_mce'. So all I have to do is add that line (without 'sudo') to rc.locaI, right?
Interesting sidenote: Output for that command wrote something like 'changed protocols to RC-6', which is exactly what is written ob the back side of my MCE remote, so indeed the problem was it didn't use the right IR protocol from scratch. I'll try and get the rest done for myself now.
Edit: Which turned out to be not successfull.
Preface: LIRC NOT running. INPUTLIRC NOT installed. IR-KEYTABLE installed. Line 'ir-keytable -w /lib/udev/rc_keymaps/imon_mce' added to /etc/rc.local.
Well, I see ALL the buttons of my remote now with ir-keytable -t. They all have the KEY_ prefix and their respective hexcode. However, in XBMC the for example KEY_OK doesn't do anything. And even though up down right left are recognized, they kind of respond very sluggish, like you really have to press down hard. Volume up and down is even worse, it only reduces or increases volume for a little bit then does nothing if I hold the button pressed. I have to release and press again to decrease/increase further.
The problem with the buttons not recognized even if they are in the command line testing is one I really don't understand, because usr/share/xbmc/......./Lircmap.xml DOES have entries for <select>KEY_OK</select> and all others that show up in ir-keytable -t, still pressing those in XBMC does nothing. From past experience I remember however, if it shows in IRW and has a tag assigned in Lircmap.xml, it should work.
Sorry to be such a bother, again I thank sparkie for all his help. See PM for my IM account details.
