			== Keys that don't do anything ==

			There are a few keys on the remote that don't currently appear to do anything in LinuxMCE. Some of them (INPUT, TV, PC, CAB/SAT, AUX, and BACKLIGHT) do not transmit a signal to the USB receiver and cannot be used at all. Others can probably be mapped to functions within LinuxMCE. Here are the keys that could, but do not currently do anything in LinuxMCE. If you have suggestions on what these keys could be used for please submit them on the [http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=6942 forum topic] for this remote.

			=== Keys between volume/mute/channel and the numbers ===
			* The TV button with the play icon

			=== Keys at the bottom of the remote ===
			* The mail button
			* The globe button
			* The folder with star button

== Summary ==

The Gyration GYR4101US remote is a newer version of the [[Gyration_GYR3101US]] remote. The main difference being the LCD screen and a few media buttons.

The remote is not currently automatically supported in LinuxMCE however a workaround exists to get the remote working properly. The LCD display is not currently functioning.

== Current Workaround ==

To get the GYR4101US remote working with LinuxMCE today, follow these steps. Note: This was tested with LinuxMCE 0810 running kernel version 2.6.27-17-generic.

# ssh into your dcerouter or media director as root
# Verify your kernel version matches what has been tested
#:dcerouter:~# uname -r
#: Tested kernels include: 2.6.27-17-generic
# Make a backup of your existing HID driver
#: cp -i /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/hid/hid.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/hid/hid.ko.backup
# Download the updated HID kernel module attached to this [http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/838 trac ticket].
#:wget http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/attachment/ticket/838/hid-linux-2.6.27.17.tar.3.gz?format=raw
# Extract the kernel module
#: tar -xzvf hid-linux-2.6.27.17.tar.3.gz
# build the kernel module
#: cd hid-linux-2.6.27.17/drivers/hid
#: make
# Replace the original HID module with the newly compiled module
#: cp hid.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/hid/hid.ko
#: depmod -a /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/hid/hid.ko
#: update-initramfs -uvk `uname -r`
# Reboot
#: reboot
# After rebooting, login to your LinuxMCE admin website and click on Wizard>Devices>Orbiters
# Locate the Orbiter the remote is attached to and click the 'Advanced' button
# Click 'Create Child Device'
# Click 'Pick Device Template'
# Enter 1812, Press 'Go', then press 'Pick Device Template'
# Finally, Quick reload the router and the remote should then work

If you are able to get this working with a different kernel version, please update this wiki page with your results.
