I'm so tired of this Pundit-R, causing me so much trouble: 1. this remote problem (there was no problem before on my full-size Dell desktop). 2. the ATI Xvideo problem with 1080i--Pink stripe on the right of the screen. 3. IRQ/DMA issues with PVR-500MCE--Machine hangs frequently. I'll give it another chance after FC4 comes out. If these problems persist, I'll switch it with my desktop, which is slower (P4 2.4 GHz vs. P4 3 GHz HT on my Pundit-R), but at least fully functional.

RE: [mythtv-users] Re: New MCE 2005 Remote
All, Thanks for all the replies. I am experiencing exactly the same problem, it works sometimes and I am using the blatter.com driver. I have mailed Martin Blatter for some help, here is his response. I tried what he suggested but no joy my end. I hope he doesn't mind being pasted here but I thought it might give someone ideas on how to fix it. -- Hi Cenk I have a similar problem in 1 out of 20 cases with my Shuttle XPC. The only thing that helps is switching off the PC, turning off power completely by unplugging the power and then turning everything on again. The USB device is just not recognized by the hardware or the operating system therefore the driver is not even loaded at all. Try to issue a "lsmod" if it happens again and check if lirc_dev and lirc_mceusb are loaded. Check if the Transciever shows up with "lsusb -v". If it doesn't show up I'm afraid there's nothing that can be done in the driver - newer kernel version *might* fix this but it could also be a hardware issue. If lirc_mceusb shows up in lsmod's output, check /var/log/messages. Try to turn debugging on in /etc/modprobe.conf to get more ouptout. regards Martin = -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mario Limonciello Sent: 31 May 2005 18:07 To: Discussion about mythtv Cc: James Oltman Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] Re: New MCE 2005 Remote haha, cowards way out.

Was that my wording? :) Of course, packages may and should contain fixes, but in this case this was adding features which may or may not harm other users. If the code isn't accepted by the lirc developers then the more suspicious it is (perhaps by now it is, I haven't been tracking this). -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net pgpm4LAWjTn7b.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
