I have just got a new home build HTPC working but now need to tune things
up.
The IR remote supplied with the Origen AE S10V case is very flashy but comes
with no instructions nor details of its manufacturer.
Is there any way of identifying it from the computer. In other words do IR
remotes send out their ID?

Probably, what is the interface?

I've just Yesterday I built my first HTPC system, this one with with
a TBS6981 dual sat receiver. I have yet to connect an antenna or try
to figure out the bundled IR remote, too busy watching telly and
posting on usenet!

And you never thought to consult the manufacturer's web site
<http://www.origenae.com/en/accessory_rc197.htm>
where it tells you that it is a Philips based model and that it
uses the RC6 IR protocol?
The way to proceed is to install lirc and associated utilities,
and then use irrecord to record the IR code sent for every key
when it is pushed on the remote control.
An /etc/lirc/lircd.conf is then created specifying an appropriate name
for the remote, various parameters characteristic of the IR transmission,
and a listing with appropriate single word key names and the IR code
Slow 0x0000000000007D82
Vol- 0x000000000000639C
Then you create a lirc configuration file for every application that
you want to respond to lirc mapping the name used for the button in
the lircd.conf file with the action that the application is going
to perform for that particular remote, eg
begin
prog = mplayer
remote = Creative_RM-900
button = Slow
config = speed_mult -1
repeat = 1
end
begin
prog = mplayer
remote = Creative_RM-900
button = Vol-
config = volume -1
repeat = 1
end
I recommend keeping all your application specific configurations in
a sub directory eg /etc/lirc/apps
If you want to peform a mouse action by presssing a key on the remote
then you need to look at lircmd and its configuration file.
Full documentation on setting up the configuration files is available at
<http://www.lirc.org/html/configure.html>
and there is an XBMC specific how to at
<http://wiki.xbmc.ORG/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Setup_Lirc>
Happy button pressing!

That is both presumptuous and rude. I since stumbled on the fact that remote

enclosed with my case is made by SoundGraph with the description IMON Pad
remote. It is nothing like the images on the Origen website. Soundgraph
helpfully explain what the buttons do. They also manufacture the LCD display
on the case. I got that going last night. Stunning.
However, the rest of your message is very helpful. Thank you for your
trouble.

instructions for the TBS6980 for the driver compilation . To test it I
installed Kaffeine as I can run that up in about 15 minutes. That proved the
hardware worked.
I then tried XBMC but didn't like it. Next I installed Mythbuntu. For the
first time in years, I got MythTV running in less than an hour. It took a
bit longer to get the EPG to display. Just a bit of tweaking and cable
cleating to go.
I'm not so worried about the handset ID now.

progress to report. "first light" will probably be tomorrow,
I'm going "under" agains to do another run for a phone jack and then,
I'll be installing the HTPc
