If your app uses liblirc_client, it would be nice if you could follow the instructions, and the two examples at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/BetterLIRCSupport#User_Experience

to make your application work out-of-the-box in Fedora 10.

Elisa, Totem and Rhythmbox are already fixed.

I'd have had a nice list using repoquery, but it just seems to hang there doing nothing (and then gives me useless answers, might just be me...).

Let me know if you have any questions about the setup.

Hi,

I tried it on F8. I had to upgrade

PolicyKit-0.8-2.fc8.x86_64.rpm PolicyKit-devel-0.8-2.fc8.x86_64.rpm PolicyKit-docs-0.8-2.fc8.x86_64.rpm PolicyKit-gnome-0.8-4.fc8.x86_64.rpm PolicyKit-gnome-demo-0.8-4.fc8.x86_64.rpm PolicyKit-gnome-devel-0.8-4.fc8.x86_64.rpm PolicyKit-gnome-libs-0.8-4.fc8.x86_64.rpm

before installing

gnome-lirc-properties-0.2.5-1.fc8.noarch.rpm

I also used lirc from CVS (the newest version I could get).

When I rebooted and run /usr/bin/gnome-lirc-properties, I got:

...............

Any clue?

The problem is that it is not able to parse my configuration file in /etc/sysconfig:

LIRCD_OPTIONS="-H dev/input --device name='bttv IR (card=70)'"

Note that this is a valid OPTION. It has been working with my remote for a long time ...

Upgrading to version 0.8.3 and using PolicyKit 0.9.2 from F10 made it work on F8.

However, it will take a long time until all remote codes out there are converted to the standard lirc namespace, so the applications work out of the box.

Some keys do not even have a natural correspondence on my remote, such as "snapshot", "scan", "loop", etc ... I would have to choose another name for them from the options in the namespace.

But the idea is interesting. I like standards.

Nb: the lirc driver patch is currently disabled in the latest rawhide kernels (doesn't build w/the latest pre-2.6.27 bits). Been on vacation without much in the way of internet access the past week, but I'll try to get that fixed up this week...

Trivial fix, should be all set in kernel-2.6.27-0.216.rc1.git4.fc10 and later.

Wasn't this supposed to be upstreamed? Or did a kernel marge window come and pass again with no merge?

I suck. And/or simply haven't had enough time to complete the necessary work to get it upstream. LIRC has zip to do with $dayjob, so my work on it is limited to personal free time, which there hasn't been much of lately.
