@@ -2,41 +2,5 @@ LIRC is a package that allows you to decode and send infra-red signals of
 many (but not all) commonly used remote controls. LIRC is released under 
 the GNU General Public License.  It consists of lircd and lircmd daemons.
 
-Configuring lircd (the LIRC daemon)
-
- 1. Check if there is already a config file in /etc/lircd.conf. If not,
- 2. Check if there is a config file available for your remote control at 
-    the LIRC homepage and if so, copy it to /etc/lircd.conf. If not,
- 3. Start irrecord (close all applications that access /dev/lirc first) 
-    and follow the instructions given to you by this program.  Copy the 
-    resulting file to /etc/lircd.conf.  If you have trouble creating a 
-    working config file, please read the chapter about adding new remote 
-    controls -- http://www.lirc.org/html/help.html#new_remote

-Q: How can I use the infrared remote shipped with the tv card ?
-
-In the 2.6 kernels the remote simply is registered as keyboard input device 
-within the linux input layer. When using the saa7134 driver it "just works", 
-with bttv you'll have to load either ir-kbd-gpio or ir-kbd-i2c depending on 
-your TV card. If in doubt just try both. Have a look at /proc/bus/input/devices 
-file to see whenever the device is present or not.
-
-With the driver loaded the IR just works like a additional keyboard. The numbers 
-are mapped to the keypad keys. Depending on the X-Servers keyboard configuration
-(try to pick a multimedia keyboard) other keys like the ones for volume control 
-might work too.
-
-Q: But I want use lircd for IR input.
-
-No problem, you can do that too:
-
-  1. Get a recent lircd version with linux input layer support. The 0.6.6 
-     release is too old, a cvs snapshot or a 0.7 pre-release should do. You
-     only need to build the lircd daemon + tools, no lirc kernel drivers 
-     needed. Take care that the dev/input driver is included when building 
-     lircd (either ./configure --with-driver=any to simply include all drivers
-     or --with-driver=devinput).
-  2. Load the evdev module (which is part of the linux input layer). Check 
-     /proc/bus/input/devices to see which eventn device the IR input device has.
-  3. Start the daemon this way:
-    /usr/sbin/lircd -H dev/input -d /dev/input/eventn.
