lirc with Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7134 (rev 01) Terratec Cinergy 400 TV Stereo The card is absolutely recommended! saa7134[0]: registered input device for IR http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/faq.html#lircd ---------------------------------- No problem, you can do that too: Get a recent lircd version with linux input layer support. The 0.6.6 release is too old, a cvs snapshot or a 0.7 pre-release should do. You only need to build the lircd daemon + tools, no lirc kernel drivers needed. Take care that the dev/input driver is included when building lircd (either ./configure --with-driver=any to simply include all drivers or --with-driver=devinput). Load the evdev module (which is part of the linux input layer). Check /proc/bus/input/devices to see which eventn device the IR input device has. Fetch the lircd.conf file for the linux input layer. Start the daemon this way: /usr/sbin/lircd -H dev/input -d /dev/input/eventn. That's it. ---------------------------------- Works perfectly;) Now we just have to set up the keycodes. http://linux.omnipotent.net/article.php?article_id=11801 my ~/.Xmodmap (Take care that the file is actually read!) keycode 222 = TPower keycode 159 = TApp keycode 176 = TVolUp keycode 174 = TVolDown keycode 160 = TMute !keycode 77 = TSelection keycode 178 = TText keycode 152 = TFastBackward keycode 233 = TFastForward keycode 177 = TRecord keycode 179 = TPlay keycode 144 = TJumpBackward keycode 153 = TJumpForward keycode 110 = TPause keycode 232 = TStop Some Keys (e.g. the right top one) do not send keycodes. You can test that with xev. There are all Keycodes listed in the Xmodmap. The names can be free chosen. !!!WARNING!!! Do not use the Keycode 77 It is for Num Selecting. There is a unspecified behaviour if you use it again. In my case it was not possible to use the key. !!!WARNING!!! Do not use _ANY_ Keysyms for the TPower... There is a unspecified behavier if you do that. In my case it was not possible to use any of the Keys together with khotkeys. Now you have to edit the KeysymDM: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB !28.08.2005 !Added by Markus for lirc configuration TPower :10090000 TApp :10090001 TVolUp :10090002 TVolDown :10090003 TMute :10090004 TSelection :10090005 TText :10090006 TFastBackward :10090007 TFastForward :10090008 TRecord :10090009 TPlay :1009000A TJumpBackward :1009000B TJumpForward :1009000C TPause :1009000D TStop :1009000E
