<sect1 id="lirc">
<title>The lirc Driver</title>
<para>
The <code>lirc</code> driver enables you to use any IR remote control
that works with <package>LIRC</package> to control the LCDproc server
<application>LCDd</application> and/or clients that can handle input.
</para>
<para>
Of course you need a working LIRC setup. Refer to the
<ulink url="http://www.lirc.org">LIRC project</ulink> for more
information on LIRC itself.
</para>
<sect2 id="lirc-install">
<title>Checking Your LIRC Setup</title>
<para>
Basically all you need is a running <application>lircd</application>.
And of course you have to start <application>lircd</application>
as root.
</para>
<para>
Also, make sure that the permission of <filename>/dev/lircd</filename>
are correct.
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="lirc-configure">
<title>Build LCDd with the lirc Driver</title>
<para>
You need to add lirc to the --enable-drivers=... list.
</para>
<para>
Then simply run make.
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="lirc-configuration">
<title>Configure LCDd to Use the lirc Driver</title>
<para>
First of all you need to activate the driver by adding a <code>Driver=lirc</code> line
to your <filename>LCDd.conf</filename>
</para>
<example id="lirc-configuration.example">
<title><filename>LCDd.conf</filename>: Activate the lirc driver</title>
<programlisting>
Driver=mtxorb
Driver=lirc
</programlisting>
</example>
<para>
This activates the <code>mtxorb</code> driver as the output driver
and the <code>lirc</code> driver as the input driver.
</para>
<para>
Then you have to modify the <code>[lirc]</code> section of your
<filename>LCDd.conf</filename>.

Normally all LIRC clients scan the file <filename>~/.lircrc</filename>.
However, you might want to have a separate file to configure the LCDproc lirc driver only.
</para>
<para>
This option enables you to specify the file you want the lirc driver to scan.
If not given it defaults to <filename>~/.lircrc</filename>.

<para>
All LIRC keys are assigned to a program using the <literal>prog=...</literal>
directive in the lirc configuration file.
</para>
<para>
<replaceable>PROGRAM</replaceable> must be the same as in your lirc
configuration file.

</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
</sect3>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="lircrc">
<title>Modify Your <filename>~/.lircrc</filename></title>
<para>
As mentioned above you can either modify the <filename>~/.lircrc</filename>
or use a separate file for the lirc LCDproc driver (See
<link linkend="which-lircrc">above</link> for details).
</para>
<para>
No matter which file you use, you have to add at least the following
lines to the file:
</para>
<example id="lircrc.example">
<title><filename>~/.lircrc</filename>: Specify the associations from buttons to keys
for the lirc driver</title>
<programlisting>
begin
prog = lcdd
button = 2
config = Up
end
begin
prog = lcdd
button = 4
config = Left
end
begin
prog = lcdd
button = 6
config = Right
end
begin
prog = lcdd
button = 8
config = Down
end
begin
prog = lcdd
button = 1
config = Escape
end
begin
prog = lcdd
button = 0
config = Enter
end
</programlisting>
</example>
<para>
Which buttons you specify here depends on your remote control and your LIRC configuration.
</para>
<para>
The <literal>config</literal> values need to be one of <literal>Up</literal>,
<literal>Down</literal>, <literal>Left</literal>, <literal>Right</literal>,
<literal>Escape</literal> or <literal>Enter</literal>.
For LCDd's server menu at least the keys <literal>Up</literal>, <literal>Escape</literal>
and <literal>Enter</literal> are necessary.
</para>
<para>
<!-- TODO: is this still true with 0.5 ? -->
Of course you can define other keys. Those keys will not be handled by the
server but sent to a client. Refer to the documentation of the client you want
to use, to find out which keys are necessary for that client.
