Re: suspend/wake, if you learned anything that would be helpful if the rest of us try to take on that task, please leave any pointers here.

Here is the post about my problem and solution http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=81074 to the "Suspend once - then autoresume problem." This had nothing to do with the remote side of things as far as I could tell - as the problem occurred trying to suspend via the keyboard without the remote plugged in.

For the remote to work correctly, you have to upgrade to a later kernel. See here http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=597...stcount=61

Please note that the latest Dharma Beta 2 Live release includes this later kernel (at least the xbmcfreak Dharma Beta 2 one does), so no need to upgrade it.

I also had to enable the correct USB port. In my case it was "US15". To find what is enabled / disabled - try

Code:

sudo cat /proc/acpi/wakeup

To enable "US15" try as my example

Code:

sudo echo US15 > /proc/acpi/wakeup

Seems for a lot of H/W out there USB0 has to be enabled (not so in my case). Using the above command only enables for the current session. To survive a reboot, you have to add the command to the /etc/rc.local file

So

Code:

sudo pico /etc.rc.local

should open the file. Scroll down until you find exit 0. Put this line directly above it (while still allowing a line space between it and previous line)

Code:

echo US15 > /proc/acpi/wakeup

If you want to enable USB0, then replace "US15" with "USB0"

Here is part of my file as an example

Code:

#execute runonce script
if [ ! -e "/usr/share/xbmc/hwSetup_NVIDIA_HDMI.sh" ]; then
echo "runonce script already applied"
else
/usr/share/xbmc/hwSetup_NVIDIA_HDMI.sh
fi

[color=red]echo US15 > /proc/acpi/wakeup[/color]
exit 0

crtl X, then "Y" then enter.

Please note: some posts seem to indicate enabling all the ports produces other issues - so only enable the one you need (find by enabling one at a time).

Once this has been achieved type

Code:

reboot

and you should be good to go. Worked for me at least.

Hope this helps.
