Lo, Is it possible to control a FreeBSD-box with a remote control? I just bought a programmable IR-RC for 10 EUR which can control up to 8 devices, and wonder if i can use it to control volume or other apps such as xmms.* However, my PC does not have IR build in. - Is there a list with supported IR-hardware (RS232) for FreeBSD? Or are they all following a standard, so that i can plug in everything? - Can i use any IR-code of the programmable IR-RC? - What software do you recommend? If you have made it already, please tell me how and where i can find some sort of tutorial. Thanx a bunch! * I'm a programmer, so if i can map an incoming IR-event to some shell-script or something, i'll be OK. Don't need predefined firlefanz.
