As mentioned by another, you cannot do this directly because fceu-sdl (and most other console emulators) bypass the X-input layer for keyboard data and thus never see events sent to them by irxevent. However, if all you want is the exit functionality, you could try using irexec to send a QUIT signal to FCE. For example, add something like the following to your .lircrc: begin remote = your_remote button = EXIT prog = irexec repeat = 0 config = killall fceu-sdl end The "fceu-sdl" should be the program name as it appears in the output of 'ps' or 'top'. I've been meaning to try something like this myself, but haven't gotten around to trying it yet. If you try this and it works, please let me know. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
