hi guys
having searched the forums, i still cant find any details to switch the device so that it works as a typical remote, rather than a mouse in the XBMC interface.
i have been having numerous issues getting the remote to work and had problems with double button presses, but following someone else's advice on lirc-specific forum, i have installed the latest CVS verison this weekend (0.8.7-CVS. not sure if there is a more specific revision, this is what "lircd -v" displayed...)
so with this version, i have fixed the double button presses. i amended the Lircmap.xml file after installing the XBMC release version 9.04. the buttons work as intended - great.
the pad is functioning as a mouse though, which isnt my ideal solution (also the Enter and Select buttons dont seem to allow me to click a button, so it really is unusable at the minute). how can i fix this? is this what the Keymap.xml file is used for?
regards
