I recently got an ATi TV Wonder card w/remote for use in a MythTV box I'm building up. The tuner card works great, and from what I've read on the internet, the TV wonder is supposed to "just work"... it's supposed to show up as a HID in newer 2.6 kernels and thus mimic a mouse and keyboard.

Unfortunately I'm getting nothing at all from my Remote Wonder. Nada.

I've tried plugging in mutliple USB mice and keyboards and my system has no trouble accepting input from multiple ones at the same time, so I don't believe that's the problem.

dmesg shows that the ati_remote module loads up and initializes properly when I plug in the RF receiver.

However, I get nothing at all from the remote.

As other people on the internet have had seemingly zero trouble at all getting their Remote Wonders to work, I'm curious whether I've got a bum transmitter, or if I'm just doing something wrong with the configuration. I'd rather not have to install windows on the box just to verify that my hardware actually works...

Anybody else gotten one of these to work before in Linux?
