Getting remote control working
Posted: Fri Nov 20, 2009 1:34 pm
Hi Guys,
I've had my Fit-pc2 for a few days now and am primarily interested in using it as a HTPC running Boxee. I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 following the guide on the Wiki and have now also got Boxee up and running.
Now, time to use a remote control so I can get rid of the clunky USB keyboard....
I can't find anything online to help me set up a remote. I'm guessing I have to use LIRC. I installed that and ran the gui but it wants to know what make/model of IR receiver I have. I can;t find anything on the Fit-PC specs that tell me what the built in IR receiver is.
Someone must have had teh same problem as me.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Chris
