Hi,
I've got a lovely installation here on Fedora 14 on a Zotac MAG box. Neat little setup, everything works great. I'm using the build from rpmfusion (xbmc-10.0-1.fc14.x86_64)
This morning I find myself trying to get an old Windows MCE remote going. The one in question that I have does NOT have the teletext button, it is marked Model 1039 and RC6 on the back. I've got its receiver plugged in via USB.
I'm finding a lot of conflicting information out on the web about this setup (it should just work, or needs lirc with config A, or needs lirc with config B, etc...)
From what I can tell, the remote works with or without lirc. What I'm finding is that with lirc (0.8.7-1 from Fedora 14's repo), more buttons work, but the remote seems too sensitive - a single button press gets measured as many, and a list takes off scrolling when the intent was just to increment one item.
Without lirc, the remote works and is somewhat more controllable, but almost none of the buttons respond. Arrows work, power works, mute works, but not much else.
What is the best way to go about resolving this? lirc here seems to be playing the role of an unnecessary intermediary, what can I twiddle in the XBMC config to get more buttons working? Or do i need a different config in lirc?
Thanks!
