this should do the trick:
1. Make sure the evdev kernel module is loaded or compiled into the
kernel (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV)
2. lsinput (in Debian Etch, it is in the input-utils package)
3. Spot the device for the apple remote. If it's not there, try
cat /dev/input/eventX with all eventX files, press a button on the
remote and look if you got the right device
4. Start irrecord -H dev/input -d /dev/input/<proper device>
5. Follow the instructions given by irrecord
6. Move the resulting lircd.conf to /etc/
7. Start lircd -n -H dev/input -d /dev/input/<proper device> /etc/lircd.conf
8. Start irw, press some buttons on the remote and check if it prints
the button press events
Now you could set up a ~/.lircrc and populate it with your desired
actions. To trigger system events/scripts, you might want to take a
look into the irexec documentation on www.lirc.org. Short example:
begin
prog = irexec
button = power
config = /usr/bin/your_program
end
Now start irexec and press the button you specified as "button" (above,
"power" is used. You should tweak this to a button mentioned in your
/etc/lircd.conf file).
i've tried to do this, but when i start irrecord -H dev/input -d /dev/input/<proper device> i've got this error message :
irrecord: gap not found, can't continue
