Promethe Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 After pressing Command+Esc my system momentairly hangs up - with Gray Screen of Death. And there isn't any information about kernel panic in logs. I assume, that is somehow connected with my mouse... Could you post the same driver for keyboard (for example for Apple Wireless Keyboard)? However, great work, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need to change "HIDDefaultBehavior" from "Mouse" to "Keyboard" in Info.plist of FrontRowPass.kext. And use your USB keyboard DeviceID and VendorID.

Takuro Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 My mouse is some weird RadioShack model that uses USB outputs, yet it came bundled with a "USB to standard mouse input" extension thinggy. Basically, my mouse works a lot smoother and more responsive when it's plugged into the the standard mouse input, instead of the USB. FrontRow is working great and all, but could I add device and vendor IDs from some other peripheral that's plugged into a USB port other than my mouse or a keyboard? Does the kext just make sure the designated peripheral with matching device and vendor IDs is connected or not, or does it actually utilize it somehow? I don't see where the mouse comes into all this, because while in Front Row, my keyboard does all the navigation, and it's not a USB keyboard either. Just asking. Thanks for any replies.

domino Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Takuro, You can not control Front Row with mouse. It is not a hack of Front Row. It is native Front Row like on any Mac with Apple Remote. With this driver "SystemUIServer" think that there is Apple Remote in computer and let you to run Front Row. You can use Salling Clicker to control Front Row with Bluetooth (Wi-Fi) mobile phone (or HPC) Salling Clicker http://www.salling.com/Clicker/mac/ Supported devices http://www.salling.com/Clicker/mac/devices.php Universal Binary version (beta) http://www.salling.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3489 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takuro Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?method...erface%20device Ok I read up a little. Is there any way to fake it into working without an HID device? It doesn't use the mouse for navigation anyway, so I don't see the harm in trying. Or maybe an emulate device...

xtraa Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 xtraa, domino, Romeo is Universal Binary now! I made some changes in source and compiled it. It have many bugs, but works well with Front Row (Options button in Romeo does not work, do not press it, lol ). I've tested it with SonyEricsson T630. Works well! Ultra cool. Hooah, comrades This version have support for Front Row. To install, just unzip it and delete "com.arboreal.romeo.plist" (if you have it) in User Preferences Folder. http://www.yuriev.info/Romeo.zip Damnit... Just being away two days and ypiieeh Thanks a whole bunch! ymmd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use hacked BezelServices.loginPlugin. Ask the author of Front Row Enabler to write patch for Universal Binary Front Row. Method in this thread is not a hack. System think that there is Apple Remote on your computer. You can use FrontRowPass.kext with any type of HID device (mouse, keyboard, etc.), not only mouse. By defaults it is for mouse, because most of new age computers have USB mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickhamm Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I have a bit of a brain teaser about controlling FrontRow. From what I have read, any HID device will work with FrontRow, but the driver given is designed for a USB mouse (as a PS2 mouse is not a HID device). I installed Mac OS 10.4.3 on my cousins media center (Celeron D 2.93GHz, ATI 9550, 768MB RAM) and am currently 98% done with downloading 10.4.4. My cousin's PC has a USB Infared Reciever with a Windows XP Media Center remote. Is there any way to modify this driver or use this driver with other software that would allow me to use the media center remote on FrontRow once I get 10.4.4 installed? From what I remember, the infared reciever did show up under USB devices and did have a device ID. I am not over at my cousins house right now, but I may be going later tonight and if I do I will post the Device ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 (edited) I made some changes in source and compiled it. It have many bugs, but works well with Front Row (Options button in Romeo does not work, do not press it, lol Actually, the Options button works now. All I did was move the UB app from the Mac folder (the one Kyrie compiled) and copied it to the old PPC version Mac folder, replacing the old PPC version. . The only real problem with Romeo now are the plugins (scripts), which need to be recreated/edited for the current "System" controller such as system volume and system mute, etc. If you can provide script support, please head on over to my Front Row post and plugins featuring Kyie's compilation. thanks Edited March 5, 2006 by domino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autoy Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 There is a terrible side effect regarding frontrowenabler.kext: I usually map my keyboard in os x to match my windows modifier keys. I set command to ctrl, option to Alt, etc. This mapping gets reset with values by default every time I star Front Row or the driver is loaded at boot. It gets kind of annoying to remap all the time. Anyone got hints on how to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VoRTeX15O Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 And yet, we're still waiting on the no remote IR edit for the universal binary FrontRow. Has anyone tried this on a 10.4.3 81111g? And without remote? What about IOUSBHIDDriver.kext problems on 10.4.3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
