kalimero Wrote:I am using the Pundit P4-P5N9300 with Ubuntu 9.04 and XBMC and would like to get the built-in IR receiver and remote control working. I have read through the tread, but I don't understand the instructions. Can anyone please write some detailed instructions on how to get the remote working with this setup?
For instance, be detailed on how to configure Lirc. I have not found any executable for Lirc. What are the config files that should be updated, and what parameters should be configured?
I have activated the IR in BIOS and installed Lirc 0.8.4 and Lirc-module-source from the package manager. But I cannot get it configured and I don't know how to install Lirc 0.8.6 on top of my installation.
sudo apt-get install lirc (configure with the remote you want to use, i choose MCEUSB new Philips et al and emulated it with my logitech harmony 555) The remote that comes with the Asus Pundit is a MCEUSB compatible remote too.
sudo apt-get install dialog
sudo su
cd /usr/src
wget http://www.lirc.org/software/snapshots/l...e2.tar.bz2
tar xvfj lirc-0.8.6pre2
cd lirc-0.8.6pre2
sh setup.sh
Driver configuration(1) > IrDa/CIR hardware(6) > ITE IT8712/IT8705/IT8720 CIR port (3) and "save configuration & run configure" in first menu
make
make install
nano /etc/modules add lirc_dev and lirc_it87
nano /etc/lirc/hardware.conf change to this REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_it87"
reboot and test with "sudo mode2 -d /dev/lirc0" and press buttons.
otherwise try modprobe lirc_dev && modprobe lirc_it87 and see if you get /dev/lirc0 and try sudo mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 and press buttons on remote.
To get it to work with xbmc you need to create and specify actions for the buttons in /usr/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml
