Logitech diNovo Mini should work right out from the box in XBMC.
In some occasions you can bump into some issues. I have tried to summarize a Troubleshoot guide below, and some common issues at the bottom of this post.
If other have problems with diNovo Mini, here are some tips I learned from browsing the web:
1) Try your keyboard on another system first - does it work?
2) Try to take out the batteries and put them back in!
3) Try pairing the device again with the USB dongle.
4) Update your XBMC to the latest SVN build
5) On Hardy installations, add the following line to
/etc/modprobe.d/options
Code:
# diNovo Mini Keyboard USB Dongle Fix
options usbhid quirks=0x046d:0xc71f:0x00080000
Once booted into your desktop, reload the usbhid module
Code:
sudo rmmod usbhid
sudo modprobe usbhid

Does anyone have a DiNovo Mini working with XBMC Linux?
My media keys (volume, play, pause, forward, backward) doesn't work and I have tried searching the forums for any good answers.
The media keys werent working in xbmc for a long time.
But, i am happy to say, the latest build that i have on my htpc, accepts all media keys in xbmc.
google nightly builds, and download the latest build possible.
should fix all your problems.
Worked out of the box for me, when I installed some two-three weeks ago.
Same here, works perfect out of the box.
Hmm, thanks but It's still not working.
Using XEV on Fluxbox doesn't show anything when I press the media keys.
XEV should show if any signal comes from my keyboard right?
Also, I installed the NVIDIA drivers another way:
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic nvidia-glx-185 -y
Can this have something to do with it?
PS: My DiNovo Edge keyboard is working as intended with all buttons. It's just my
DiNovo Mini which is fubar.
Thanks for the move, was unsure if it was hardware og Linux related.
Anyways, I see that I didn't install XBMC Eventclients.
Can this be a reason for my problem?

Never mind - you can't start threads in the hardware subforums anyway
Could someone with a working DiNovo Edge please post their xorg.conf?
Solved!
See update on first post.

hm, and how did you solve it?
I just got the same kind of keyboard, and it works and doesn't work at the same time. what works:
- the mouse trackpad
- sound volume keys
- play / pause key, rewind key
what doesn't work:
- the fast forward key
- the enter key
- the arrow keys (when the mouse trackpad is in arrow mode, nothing happens)
- the backspace key
this is all strange, as all works fine when not running XBMC, basically all other applications on gnome.. did you encounter a similar issue?
I saw in the forum posts reference to setting VKEY values in a key mapping file - how would one get the VKEY values?
Hey guys, thanks for all the awesome info. So I decided to re-install Ubuntu on my ION board and went with Karmic. I have the Mini working fine but my issue comes up once the computer is sleeping. Basically, pressing buttons on the Mini doesn't wake it up. I also have a MCE Remote working through IR and when i press a button on that it wakes the system up. Any ideas?
oh, I should mention that I had to do this;
