-kdelirc
--------
-
-KDELIRC is a KDE frontend for the Linux Infrared Remote Control system. It has
-two aims:
-
-1. Provide a control center module for configuration of:
- a) Application bindings to remote control buttons.
- b) Actual remote controls installed (i.e. lirc configuration).
-
-2. Provide a system-tray applet to act as a proxy between the LIRC system and
- KDE (applications), in order to launch DCOP requests (and potentially
- other IPC signals) to applications (and potentially collect/display
- results).
-
-INSTALLATION
-
-Nothing but the normal ./configure && make && su -c "make install".
-
-SETUP
-
-For the KDELirc system to work properly, you *must* have lircd configured and
-running. If you have already had a Lirc program running, then you most likely
-have Lirc set up properly. If not, be sure that you have a correct kernel module
-loaded for your IR receiver (1) and that the lircd program is running (2).
-
-You must also have some remote controls configured in "/etc/lircd.conf". Go to
-the lircd website (www.lirc.org) for more information on this.
-
-(1) /sbin/lsmod | grep lirc
-If you see some output, you have a lirc kernel module loaded (that's not to say
-it's the right module for your hardware).
-
-(2) ps aux | grep -v grep | grep lircd
-If you see some output, you have the lircd program running. This is good.
-
-DESIGN
-
-The design of the system is really quite simple---a control center module
-modifies a centralised configuration file to determine what action(s) should
-be taken on a remote control's button press.
-
-The same(?) module also provides a front-end for the input of /etc/lircd.conf,
-necessary to specify remote controls to the LIRC system. An extra (standard
-format XML-based) may be provided with the remote control description to give
-less sucky (lower case, no spaces/symbols) names.
-
-The /etc/lircd.conf frontend has not yet been implemented, though all other
-features are.
-
-The system tray applet interfaces with LIRC in order to catch key presses on
-remote controls. It is then able to communicate with and potentially start
-applications through DCOP.
