DigitalNow Quad DVB-T Tuner Card and Linux, it is working Options

[renura]

Hi Guys,

We have a couple of reports from Linux users about having the Quad DVB-T tuner card working under Linux.

So, if any one who has got the card and wants to try under Linux, please let us know how it goes.

You will need to download this

OK so I figured it out, and now have a working remote.

First thing...

Edit the

CODE

sudo vim /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf

and add

CODE

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "other keyboards"
MatchIsKeyboard "On"
Option "Ignore" "on"
EndSection

just below the first entry

Then edit:

CODE

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Ignore" "off"
EndSection

to look like

CODE

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchProduct "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Ignore" "off"
EndSection

The whole thing:

CODE

#
# Catch-all evdev loader for udev-based systems
# We don't simply match on any device since that also adds accelerometers
# and other devices that we don't really want to use. The list below
# matches everything but joysticks.

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev pointer catchall"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "other keyboards"
MatchIsKeyboard "On"
Option "Ignore" "on"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchProduct "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Ignore" "off"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev touchpad catchall"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev tablet catchall"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev touchscreen catchall"
MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Save and close:

CODE

:wq

Reboot:

CODE

sudo reboot

When your system comes back up, you can check (if you want) and make sure it's not being seen as a keyboard.

CODE

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep keyboards

Should say:

CODE

[ 19.193] (**) Power Button: Ignoring device from InputClass "other keyboards"
[ 19.195] (**) Power Button: Ignoring device from InputClass "other keyboards"
[ 19.196] (**) IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver: Ignoring device from InputClass "other keyboards"
[ 19.196] (**) IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver: Ignoring device from InputClass "other keyboards"
[ 19.196] (**) IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver: Ignoring device from InputClass "other keyboards"
[ 19.197] (**) IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver: Ignoring device from InputClass "other keyboards"
[ 19.201] (**) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Applying InputClass "other keyboards"

Next, you'll need a modified mythtv lircrc file.

copy it over the one that was made by mythbuntu (it has multiple double and tripple entries)

The origional one lives in:

CODE

~/.lirc/mythtv
