Hi Troy,
first thing I need to tell is that I did not get the lirc stuff to work. I
think that is because the ati_remote module registers itself as a normal
input device and that my X-configuration on my Mandrake-box picks this up
rather nicely. It just becomes a extra keyboard ;-)
Secondly, you would need to download my version of the ati_remote module from
http://kok.thuis99.org/ati/
Thirdly you would need to add a entry in the list:
#define MEDION_REMOTE_PRODUCT_ID 0x006
#define ATI_REMOTE_PRODUCT_ID 0x004
#define LOLA_REMOTE_PRODUCT_ID 0x002
for you type of remote (0x005)
And then you need to change all occurances of MEDION_REMOTE_PRODUCT_ID to
include the newly defined PRODUCT_ID for your type of remote.
Lastly you need to add a keymap. But for starters you might be able to get
away with the standard to see if it does pickup the remote.
Then you need to recompile the lot. (Mind you, I wrote this module for a 2.6.8
kernel. You might need to patch your version of the kernel, as a lot of
changes are going on in this part of the drivers. There are lots of changed
in 2.6.9 and 2.6.10... Quickest would be to get a original copy of this
module and add all code that I added to my vesion *I only added code* so you
do not need to take something out)
I hope you are familiar with building the modules of you kernel? There are
tricks to speed this up by specifying to compile only the usb part or even
just the input part of the usbpart: saves you time. But I forgot the
details... sorry.
After the compile you need to copy the module to
the /lib/module/where-ever-the-old-one-was and then you can rmmod ati_remote
and modprobe ati_remote debug=1 to load the module.
Then you can inspec the behaviour with dmesg. And there will be lots of
messages in /var/log/kernel/* to be followed with: "tail
-f /var/log/kernel/info"
Hope this all helped...
wkr,
Gerke
