![]() If you ever want to get rid of it, use sudo make uninstall to do so. Just download the tarball, and build/install it with these commands: tar xzf sapphire-6.6.tar.gz cd sapphire-6.6 sudo make sudo make install That's it. Here is the package for download/install: sapphire-6.6.tar.gz (tarball with source and Makefile). With this remote, the Power button can be used to wake up a system from "suspend-to-RAM" state, provided one first enables this via appropriate magic in /proc/acpi/wakeup. A sample keymap file (fault ) is included in the tarball for use as a starting point for customization. This provides better protection against the default keymap changing from release to release. As of version 3.0 and beyond, one may choose to maintain an external keymap file, and load it after each boot using the new sapphirekeymap.sh utility script. This driver is the only thing required -> no config files, no LIRC, no complexity. The driver consists of a pair of source files, sapphire.c and sapphire.h, which are easily edited (even by non-programmers) to customize button functionality. And the driver comes with most buttons already configured for use with MythTV's PVR functionility. Buttons can perform different functions when held down than when pressed/released more quickly. Auto repeat works on the buttons for which it is useful, and different repeat rates can be configured for different buttons. Installation is as simple as doing make install. I have written a replacement standalone driver to make this device extremely easy to use with MythTV. ![]() Most buttons don't work, auto-repeat is poor and inconsistent, some buttons behave as mouse functions while others act as keyboard keys, and customization for use with MythTV is not easy. The Linux kernel does have a basic input driver for this device, called hid-topseed, but that is lacking in many ways. Note that this remote control is NOT a true Windows MCE USB Remote, so it does not use the existing mceusb drivers from Linux and/or LIRC. Here are a couple of eBay listings: The thought was that this would be an excellent remote control for use with MythTV, particularly among friends and family who want to clone my small/simple ZBOX HD-ID41 based MythTV setup. ![]() Update: September/2015: These remotes are still available from a few sellers, but are getting more and more difficult to find.
