[LINUX] How do I get the iMON Knob Remote working with XBMC 10.0 (Dharma)?
#1
Greetings from Denmark Smile

I can't figure out how to get my imon knob remote working under the new xbmc. Last time I installed it, I just ran this

[HTML]sudo –s
apt-get install wget
wget http://tinyurl.com/cir-driver-ion330ht (this is the 1.01 driver from Asrock)
dpkg -i cir-driver-ion330ht.deb
reboot[/HTML]

Now I get the fellowing error

I've tried to install the newest version af lirc (0.8.7) and used the latest asrock drivers but I cannot get it working Sad

What I did manage to get working, was to get xbmc to respond on the "mousepad" on the remote, so I can move around the mouse, but I need a config thats working..

I hope you get my situation Smile

Hi kridued,

looking at the messages you posted are you sure u picked the correct driver there ?

....
`/usr/share/lirc_wb677/lirc_wb677.ko' -> `/lib/modules/2.6.32-26-generic

at least when i check the asrock homepage they offer 2 different driver one
for kernel 2.6.32 and one for 2.6.35
