+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.

+# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must make
