Gyration Remote keys all wacky

[Beeker]

Thought it was worth starting a fresh post is anybody expericing or have a solution to the issue with the current snapshots screwing up the Gyration remote, just about all the keys don't work anymore.

I have modified xorg.conf with adding the following as suggested by tkmedia and TSCHAKeee2 but still no luck

          Section "ServerFlags"
      Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
      EndSection

[huh]

I had the same, even after reload and regen I had no luck.... a reboot solved the issue- now everything is working as before.  This is on a 810 snapshot from around the middle of January, 2011.

Thanks
I am reluctant to scrap this snapshot as nearly all working now apart this........lost count of the reboots. In the end I might have to oh well another couple of long nights coming and 3.5gb off the isp quota..............

Beeker, if your system is working normally a new snapshot install i really not necessary, just do a apt-get update, upgrade for the latest packages.

Also maybe do an sqlcvs update as it's possibile somebody already fixed/or made changes to the template.

You can then also try to remove the gyration from webadmin and have it redetected.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for the tips......I tried the update and upgrade though I haven't tried the sqlcvs so I will give that ago and see what happens.........I did remove it and it found the correct device again but the commands were still all screwed up.

I with you don't really want to go through all that again as I now have the Foxconn working as a md and got the RAID back so it's really only the remote to fix

Cheers

Oops- guess I wasn't clear.  I literally just went to "advanced options", "restart the core/hybrid" and after the core rebooted (same process got my MDs working as well) my gyration remotes were working.

FWIW

I have the gyration music remote, the one with the little lcd screen at the top, it works fine apart from the windows button.  This doesn't bring up the main menu like it does with the windowsMCE remote.  Does anybody else have a gyration remote where the windows button works, is there a fix for this, or is it just mine?  Its a real problem when my media freezes and I have to go find a keyboard to plug in to get the menu up so that I can switch the media off.

What I had to do to fix this was edit my xorg.conf file under "Server Flags" to add.

Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"

Yahoo!!!    That fixed my gyration buttons issues too!!!

Just checked my xorg.conf file and that line appears at least a dozen times.  I've never added it myself, so something has already added it for me....multiple times.  Still can't use the windows button though.  The others all work fine.  Strange.  Will try deleting the AutoAddDevices false lines and leave it in just once, but don't expect it will help.

Beeker, I'll pile on to say that my experience matches yours. Multiple occurances of "AutoAddDevices" "False" and the remote does not function.

Please, if you have the music remote, can you please run xev (after exporting DISPLAY=:0), and give me the output of xev when you press the windows key?

granted i don't have the music remote, i have a 3101 gyration.

The "green" button gives me the following in xev. Not sure if the first one was me doing it wrong or it actually gave it a 30 the first time, this is possible if the screensaver was active i'm guessing.
Pressed the button 3 times, same thing over and over.

When i play video, the green button will actually pause/play the media

None of the top buttons work (play, stop, pause, rew, wnd, etc...)

The music remote isn't supported in older kernels.  You need a newer HID driver.  See here: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Gyration_GYR4101US

esev! dude, where have you been?

We need dev help!
