Hi again!

I’m trying to configure my Remote Control, i’ve been reading around but i haven’t find any instructions.
What should i do to configure it?

Just connecting the usb receiver seems to cause no effect at all. The remote control is a typical RC6 remote, (usb, infrared), actually is a Acer Remote (803V).

Is there anybody who has set up his/her remote controller?

Thank you

lsusb:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 002: ID ffff:ffff
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 147a:e017 Formosa Industrial Coumputing, Inc. eHome Infrared Reciver

So it seems to be on the Bus 006 Device 002.

the comand line cat /proc/bus/input/devices:
(i copy just the interesting part)

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=147a Product=e017 Version=0110

evtest /dev/input/event8
– press keys on your remote , ctrl+c to abord —-

tomlohave

February 21, 2012 at 14:57 #3078

weilah

February 21, 2012 at 15:13 #3080

tomlohave

ok, sorry about my incompetence.. i’ve dropped the result of dmesg in a file:

dmesg >> file

but now i’m trying to take away this file and i can not do it!! Can i reach the file in the pen drive via Ubuntu?
I tried to copy the file from GeexBox console to the Ubuntu partition but I can’t!
