Is there any way to get LightDM to see a MCE remote as an input device at the greeter screen? I have three accounts -- my user account, MythTV, and XBMC and I'd like to be able to switch between these using a remote. I've made the following change to my xorg.conf:
And X.org sees the remote:
However, I can't press up and down, or the all important enter to log in. As the Xbva build for my ATI seems to lose hdmi sound often, I have to quit xbmc, go into the server room, press enter, and then come back. It would be awesome to be able to have IR remote control at the unity greeter. Any ideas or suggestions?
Code:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Remote"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event2"
Option "Ignore" "True"
EndSection
And X.org sees the remote:
Code:
#cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep Media |grep input |grep event
