Welcome to Girder.

You aren't the first to ask this. A quick search would have turned this up. :)

It really doesn't matter how cool or sleek the remote is if the company (ATI) continues to treat it as a proprietary device. It is like ATI doesn't acknowledge the fact that YOU bought the hardware and want to USE it.

As I posted in another thread:

I haven't found any documentation on the (USB) driver on the ATI site. Without some form of document, this would seem VERY difficult to support.

If you'd like a plugin, send an E-Mail to ATI and tell them to publish documentation to allow third party applications to take advantage of this (currently) proprietary remote control.

Sorry, but ATI has never been customer driven. I don't expect that to change today. :(

I've start a conversation with ATI developer relations. I'll let you know how it turns out. :)

CHeck this (http://www.girder.nl/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1933) thread and the link to AVSForum. From a cursory glance at the documents, it appears I may need to revise my hostile attitude toward ATI. :D

Hi, I'm wondering if there's a way of getting this device to work in girder.
Since the ATI remote is so goddamn sleek i'll probably won't be the only one wondering this!

And I thought i've searched the forums to oblivion :)
Hehe, ok, this ansvers my question. I'll send an email to ATI anyways.
It'd probably be best to buy a normal IR-remote...

yeye
thanks for the help!
