LIRC-mouse SOLVED

[hallergard]

Still trying to install the LIRC-mouse - now with 9.10. My main problem seems to be that I as per this error message when the lircmd daemon starts:

"lircmd: unknown protocol IntelliMouse#015"

What to do??

Has anyone got a functioning LIRC-mouse?

Re: LIRC-mouse

I had been editing lircmd.conf in Windows, thus creating DOS line endings (#015) rather than Unix line endings. Fixing that I now have a functioning LIRC-mouse on the Mandriva partition.

On the Kubuntu partition I still have a problem. /var/log/Xorg.0.log does not acknowledge the Lirc-mouse, i.e. the HAL procedure has not functioned. Suspect a kernel problem?

Not a kernel problem. Found the answer here, posts 7-9:

Just learnt an even easier way from jarajm: to use the new command lircmd --uinput. Very easy!
