I'm experiencing a problem with cwiid and IR control.

First some info: I'm using (K)ubuntu Edgy and compiled cwiid from source, since debian packages had some issues with dependencies. Everything seems to work just fine with wmgui, including IR.

When using wminput, I can use tilting for mouse control with default/acc plugin. However, when I activate IR plugin (sudo wminput -c ir_ptr) and use a couple of candles as IR sources, I can see the first LED burning when I point the wiimote towards the candles, but the cursor does not move. Buttons work just fine.

I modified the source a bit to print the mouse coordinates to console and they seem to be just fine. I also tried to change configuration params in ir_ptr config file. If I use REL_X instead of ~ABS_X, cursor goes to right edge of the screen and stays there.

No more ideas left... What could be the reason that with ~ABS_X, ~ABS_Y values mouse emulation doesn't work? Anyone?

what does your xorg.conf look like?

Here it is. I have added wiimote as an input device based on information that I found from one French site (I can't read French but understood the commands). There's some mess with displays since I had to play a little to get dual screen working properly with Beryl.

abstrakraft, thanks for making a good question... I managed to get IR control to work by editing my xorg.conf. I commented out Screen1 from ServerLayout and TwinView from Screen0, which disabled the second monitor but enabled mouse emulation with IR.

So it seams that in single monitor use IR control works but I don't know what is the problem with two monitors. Maybe it has something to do with TwinView style dual monitor system.

I'm actually planning to use cwiid with another computer that has only one monitor, so this not a major issue for me. Currently I'm developing some software that uses cwiid with a computer that has dual monitor system, so a workaround would be nice, though.

Glad you got it working, sort of. I've dealt with the various dual-head methods before, hopefully it will come back to me - I'll take a look at it when I have a chance. Submitting a ticket at http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid will guarantee I don't forget about it .

Snark, I seem to remember you saying something about dual-headed at some point. Do you have any pertinent experience to share?
