| - | * XInput 2 (instaled with the updated X) will enable the higher keycodes but right now mythtv isn't ported apparently, will need to patch bluez and re-install, upstream bluez won't take it. Patching... | + | |

| - | Aso of interest: | + | As of this writing, the best way to enable the remote for use with Myth is to patch bluez. A default installation of bluez will enable the remote, once paired, as a faked modifykeyboard but produce scancodes above 255 which require XInput 2 (Xorg 1.7) AND support in the application (MythTV and any player to be used). Upstream bluez won't integrate the patch since the XInput 2 way is preferable. |
| - | More Bluez patches, including CPU load fix: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=410004&postcount=154 | + | A problem of this method is MythTV key mappings might require tweaking since each remote key is mapped to a scancode, it maps to **key** instead of a **character** (two characters on the same key are equivalent). |
