Hi All,
I've been battling my Imon PAD/VFD for the last few days, so here's a quick HOWTO on how to make it all work...
(It's all done on hardy...)
1. Download the pre-complied kernel module lirc_imon.ko that i've compiled with Pad2Keys enabled.
2. Replace the new lirc_imon.ko module with the old one.
3. Reconfigure LIRC to use Imon PAD/VFD by running:
4. Copy the new lircd.conf to /usr/share/lirc/remotes/imon/
and name it lircd.conf.imon-pad2keys:
5. Edit /etc/lircd.conf and replace usr/share/lirc/remotes/imon/lircd.conf.imon-pad with usr/share/lirc/remotes/imon/lircd.conf.imon-pad2keys
6. Edit /etc/modprobe.d/options and add the following lines:
This will translate the special directional keys on the remote to act as key presses instead of mouse movement, it will also force the lirc_imon module to output to VFD instead of the LCD (islcd=0).
7. Copy Lircmap.xml to the .xbmc/userdata folder.
ex:
8. Enable the XBMC to use the iMon VFD:
