[Bug 482961] [NEW] [Karmic] Leadtek Winfast 2000XP remote not set up correctly

[Aaron Whitehouse]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mythbuntu-control-centre

I have a Leadtek Winfast 2000XP (card 34) with a remote Y0400046. The MCC remote generator does not make this remote work correctly. After using MCC and checking the "generate dynamic button mappings", I have to fix quite a number of things.  I have set out the full instructions here (http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Leadtek_WinFast_2000#Setting_up_the_remote ) and here (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Leadtek_WinFast#Remote )
1) use a UDEV rule to make a symlink for the event note as described here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=222672), to stop the remote changing its device node on boot. My rule is:
KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{vendor}=="0x109e", ATTRS{device}=="0x036e", ATTRS{modalias}=="pci:v0000109Ed0000036Esv0000107Dsd00006606bc04sc00i00", SYMLINK+="input/bttv_remote"
2) the correct configuration file is loaded into lircd.conf, so I do not need to change this;
3) change /etc/lirc/hardware.conf to read:

# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
#Chosen Remote Control
REMOTE="Winfast TV2000/XP (card"
REMOTE_MODULES="bttv"
REMOTE_DRIVER="dev/input"
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/input/bttv_remote"
REMOTE_SOCKET=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="leadtek/lircd.conf.RM-0010"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

MCC has a number of mistakes in its automatically generated one. From memory, the driver is "devinput" instead of "dev/input" and the device node is not correct;
4) the ~/.lirc/mythtv file is *way* out and does nothing now that the dev/input driver identifies presses as "linux-input-layer".  My config file is at http://pastebin.com/f62afb3cf but is specifically to get the most out of the Y0400046 remote, so may not cover (or use optimally) the buttons on other 2000XP bttv cards.

Setting up this remote is quite an exercise at the moment, but it is
just a series of fairly mechanical steps, so it would be great if MCC
could do it for the user. Please let me know if I can be any further
help!
