I haven't tried this, but, in my opinion, lirc is in fact a good thing. If you only use MythTV programs, which share the same keybindings, then lirc doesn't seem like such a big deal. However, once you add external programs into the mix (like xine or xmame), then the configuration gets much more complex.
I feel it's easier to use lirc and have multiple entries in the .lircrc file (one per application per remote button), than it is to try to synchronize the keybindings between multiple programs. -- Joe --- Calvin Harrigan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Has anyone tried using the ivtv driver and the > ir-kbd-i2c driver to make > remote keypresses show as regular keyboard > keypresses? > I tried it out and it works pretty good.
