Title: Gyration remote doesn't work properly after update
Post by: donpaul3 on July 31, 2011, 10:36:48 pm
I updated my core, updated my MD, and now my gyration remote does not work properly. The only working functions are the mouse, the direction buttons, and the green button. I can use the stop button to turn the volume down, and the rewind button the turn volume up, but I can't bring up the menu or use any media controls. I have been working on it all day. Anyone have any ideas?

Please look in your Orbiter logs and see if there are any GenericHIDInterface errors.

Another thing to check is /etc/X11/xorg.conf under the section "ServerFlags" to see if the option "AutoAddDevices" is set to "False". I've included my xorg file for reference - see the last line.

I actually had about 30 of those options. I removed all but 1.

Thanks Thom! I just did a fresh install with the latest snapshot, and I'm looking forward to a remote again!

I  have spent all day fixing this, and am committing the fix now. Please wait for posde to run the build.

A new pluto-system-database package will be scheduled to be rebuilt as well, which will do an sqlCVS update so you can get the revised device template as well.

I actually installed Dianemo S10.10, and there is no Gyration support there yet :(

Thanks for the quick fix anyway, Thom! Appreciated!
