I just recently got my wireless Xbox 360 controller working as a remote in MythTV and thought I'd share. It was pretty straightforward:<br><br>First, if you want to use a wireless controller, you need the Xbox wireless gaming receiver, which is about $20. At the time NewEgg has free shippping. <br>
<br>Next, the guide here does a good job of explaining how to install the driver. It mentions Ubuntu 7.10, but it also worked for me in Fedora 10.<br><a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=825464">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=825464</a><br>
The driver needs to start up before the mythfrontend, so I put the following lines in my /etc/init.d file:<br><br>/sbin/modprobe uinput<br>/sbin/modprobe joydev<br>/sbin/rmmod xpad<br>/usr/local/bin/xboxdrv --wid 0 &<br>
<br>Finally, the MythTV wiki has an article on how to set up a joystick as a remote:<br><a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Joystick_Control">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Joystick_Control</a><br><br>Regards,<br>David<br>
