TODO
- Build an LIRC rpm from cvs, and include the configuration files I wrote in the package.
I compiled it with: ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-driver=atiusb
I used /usr as a prefix so programs like mplayer don't choke when looking for it.
If I find time I'll write a proper .spec file and build it, however for now I just used CheckInstall to build the rpm.
- Figure out how to toggle fullscreen mode in Mplayer with the remote.
- Test and add configuration for other common programs like Xine and Ogle DVD player. Will need program-specific info.
- Bind keys to buttons on the remote, I hope this is not exclusive to using the gatos method mentioned in the beginning of the howto.
It could be used for things as:
- Using the small 'OK' key in the center of the arrow keys as an 'Enter' key.
When scrolling a playlist (xmms for example) with up/down arrows you could play a song with it. It could probably be used in 'Open File' dialogs too.
- Making the up/down buttons work like up/down keyboard keys would be appropriate.
You'd then stop using them as a mouse scroll wheel in /etc/lircmd.conf
- Using the number buttons to switch virtual desktops.
