"Out of the box"!? Where the heck did you get the below file from?
I definitely can't find it in my "box" nor in the elisa sources! :-)
That's why I said "out of the box" (in quotes).
I think that file was generated by the script you found.
What I ment was that I did not have to play around with .lircrc or
/etc/lircd.conf (after I got my remote working with
gnome-lirc-properties in the first place).
So if I understand correctly, elisa short circuits the ~/.lircrc file?
Does anyone know the reason for this? Be able to some day integrate the
configuration utility into the UI? (then not have to overwrite
~/.lircrc nor do any ugly parsing of that file)
They now have standardized the key-names.
For fedora, there is already a lot of nice lircd.conf-files with the
correct names added.
See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/BetterLIRCSupport
And work is underway upstream to fix this everywhere:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.hardware.lirc/6884
This makes it much easier for apps like Elisa to just bypass .lircrc and
use the names directly in the code.
KEY_MUTE should be the mute-key on all remotes, KEY_VOL_UP is volume up
and so on, so there is no need for another abstraction layer for each
user any more.
So I agree that it is not completely out of the box yet, but I think
we're getting there.
Rgds.
