Hi All,
I really hope someone can help. I've recently bought an Acer Aspire Revo and installed the latest version of XBMC from the live disk.
Initially I planned on using my iPhone to control it, but that quickly proved to be a bad idea, so I decided to buy a remote.
A Dell remote came up on eBay, and with it being almost identical to the Philips SRM 5100, I decided to go for it, especially after reading that it should work straight out of the box.
Alas, it didn't.
So, I think I've narrowed it down to something, although I don't know what that something is. The following is a few things I've found:
Lirc is installed and it's running on version 0.8.6
andy@XBMCLive:~$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0471:2093 Philips
So the device is recognised by the USB bus, but it's not listed in /proc/bus/input/devices:
andy@XBMCLive:~$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0019 Vendor=0000 Product=0001 Version=0000
N: Name="Power Button"
P: Phys=PNP0C0C/button/input0

N: Name="HDA Digital PCBeep"

U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd event3
B: EV=40001
B: SND=6
Does anyone know why it wouldn't show here? Have I done something wrong? All I did was plug in, find it didn't work, then google to the high heavens!
The only thing I can think to blame is the receiver itself as nothing happened when I plugged it into my MacBook….but that isn't really conclusive evidence. I have no windows machine to test with.
Thanks in advance guys, any questions just let me know.
Edit: I'm running Kernel 2.6.32-29
