patch to make the imon PAD generate mouse events

[Guest]

SiliconFiend, your patch fails 7 of 9 hunks for a clean 0.8.0 source.

but I applied it manually and it builds fine.

Is there a way to easily disable the mouse mode so it only works in the "keyboard" mode? I'm using it my case with MythTV so I have no need for the mouse mode and if I can easily disable it I'd like to.

thanks!

Hmm... Well, my Myth computer is down right now (power supply is out on RMA) so I can't try the patch, but I generated it from source downloaded through Gentoo portage. I assumed it was the same as the original (typically Gentoo applies custom patches after the source tarball is unpacked), but maybe it's not. When I get the computer back up, I'll try it again and see if I can clean it up and repost. Disabling the mouse/keyboard button shouldn't be a big deal, but I don't know why you don't just ignore it if you don't want to use it...

your right, it seems to default to the cursor mode, it feels a little more finicky than the older patches in that sometimes hitting left or right tips a little to the top/bottom but that may just be my remote, I just never noticed it with the older patches.

I can make a diff from my manual edit from the source tarball. Have you thought of submitting the patch to the lirc team?

I see that I didn't enter my user name for the last message. Apparently that's started to be a problem on this form, according to some of the messages I've read. Anyway, I can't claim it as my patch. I've done some minor editing to the patch (originally by DataPath, I think) and I generally understand what it's doing, but I didn't come up with the idea.

As far as submitting it to the LIRC team, I dunno. Since it creates an input device for the mouse, etc. I don't know if it fits with their general philosophy of the driver structure. This driver works for us, but it really should be factored more for general use.

[SiliconFiend]

Okay, I got my Myth computer running again. I tried the patch I had emailed and I got the same results (7 of 9 hunks failed). However, I diffed it with the original, working patch (using the -b option to ignore changes in whitespace) and it's identical. So, it's a whitespace problem, probably for the context lines. My problem is that I can't easily send email from that box, so I cat'd it to my SSH and then pasted into a text editor in windows. I will try to re-send the original for Matteo.

[SiliconFiend]

Aha! While I was going through this fixing the whitespace problems for my emailed patch file, I discovered a little bug with the left arrow (MOUSE_KEY_W). My wife had complained that it was sluggish moving left, and I think I found the reason why. I'll post the fixed patch in a while. The astute readers may find the problem themselves.

Hi to all I'm looking for a solution of my problem. I'm a linux newbie but I falt in love with VDR and I assembled an HTPC using silverstone LC10M case with iMon remote. Now the VFD is working well but I can't configure lirc to work . I already tried a lot of stuff (download, compile etc.) The situation right now is. I can load the module and lircd is working but using irw I can see a stange (at least for me) behaviour when I press a button (and eventually I hold it) I get the right code but when I release it I get a different (just 1 byte) code so I can't configure VDR to work
I also tried to applied the patch posted here but I had some errors

My actual configuration is linvdr with 2.6.15 kernel and lirc 0.8

thanks in advance for any help

[michaelb]

would it be possible to get a patch like the one "notz" posted, with no mouse support, and only 4 direction pad control with whatever updated changes/fixes the newer patches have? I'm using it with MythTV so I don't need a mouse, and I only need 4 directions, but I'd like to be able to use the other mouse buttons by remapping them for other functions.

thanks!

Aha! While I was going through this fixing the whitespace problems for my emailed patch file, I discovered a little bug with the left arrow (MOUSE_KEY_W). My wife had complained that it was sluggish moving left, and I think I found the reason why. I'll post the fixed patch in a while. The astute readers may find the problem themselves.

Okay, here's the patch yet again with the left arrow bug fixed.

ok, I took your patch and made it work for the tarball release. I've uploaded it here:
http://www.jobs-khakis-chicks.com/MythTV/lirc-imon/

I didn't bother fixing the spacing to make it pretty, but it compiles and works.

SiliconFiend, I'm going to PM u my email as I don't mind hosting the patch to make it easy for people to grab.

Disable the cursor? The Mouse cursor?

I've removed the mouse input device support, so it possibly does
exactly what it was supposed to do... ?

Using VDR it works perfectly as Up-/Down-/.. and additionally makes the
MouseKeyboard, MouseLeft and MouseRight-Keys available.

its not that I like the mouse stuff, its that the other patch works. your patch "succeeds", but irw does not output anything for the directional pad or click, the other buttons work fine though...

[hayabusajerry]

Hello all,

I think I must be missing something silly. I have tried both the patches most recently above (with and without mouse) against lirc-0.8.0, both of which have compiled fine with my 2.6.16.1 kernel (updated Fedora 5) having removed the 'owner' line from 'strict usb'.

With both versions I do not seem to get any output from the pad using irw, well thats not entirly true, I did get a mouse_s twice after many presses of the button. All the other buttons except the red power button work fine. The remote is not broken as it works fine in windoze.

I have modprobed the drivers (lirc_dev, lirc_imon) and even rebooted to make sure the new drivers are loaded after compile time.

I would prefere to use the keyboard and mouse version, but would be happy if I could get either to work.

What am I missing?

Cheers

Jerry
