Hi all,
Yesterday, I upgraded my myth box to a 2.6.10 kernel, from 2.4.26. Almost eeverything has gone very smoothly, with just one outstanding problem.
I had been happily using the 2.1.1 ati_remote driver from the GATOS project, without lirc. I'm now using the follow-on that's included in the 2.6 kernel.
I noticed that many of the keycodes have changed, but that was no problem: I just used xev to get them all, and updated my .xmodmaprc. One odd thing is that I'm no longer getting a keypress from the channel + and - buttons.
The real problem, though, is the repeat behaviour. I'm finding that it's very easy to accidentally get a double keypress. If I press 2 or 3 times in a row, I'll get 6 or 8 presses. It makes things pretty hard to control. I'd guess that the repeat functionality that's shown up since the old driver is supposed to allow me to hold down a button and get rapid repeats, but if I do that, it keeps going well after I stop pressing it.
Here's what's logged when I load the module:
Dec 28 13:25:51 myth kernel: ati_remote 2-2:1.0: Input registered: X10 Wireless Technology Inc USB Receiver on usb-0000:00:02.0-2 Dec 28 13:25:51 myth kernel: usbcore: registered new driver ati_remote Dec 28 13:25:51 myth kernel: drivers/usb/input/ati_remote.c: Registered USB driver ATI/X10 RF USB Remote Control v. 2.2.1 Dec 28 13:25:51 myth kernel: drivers/usb/input/ati_remote.c: Weird data, len=1 ff 00 00 00 00 00 ...
Has anyone had any luck using the ati_remote driver in 2.6? Anyone seen these kinds of problems, or better yet, solved them?
Thanks, Dave
