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. - -Gav Wood, 2003 (gav at kde dot org). |
