I got it working for my EOS450. * install shutter * Get canon configuration file from: http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/canon/RC-1_RC-5 and save it to /etc/licr/ * Add following line "frequency 32000" to the RC-1_RC-5 -file just before line "begin codes" * add canon configuration to lircd.conf: echo "include \"/etc/lirc/RC-1_RC-5\"" > /etc/lircd.conf * reload lirc: sudo /etc/init.d/lirc reload * modify /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/shutter.py, change value of "remote" to "CANON-RC1/RC5", and value of "code" to "S" Not very clean solution, but at least it works I used nano in xterm to edit files.
