Hi,

After a good night fiddling around with freevo, lirc and my remote
yesterday I now know following.
The only thing you have to do, to get freevo working, is create the file
/etc/freevo/lircrc, and in my case (dont't know if its a common problem)
change the acces right of /dev/lircd from rw-r--r-- to rw-rw-rw-.

An exaple for lircrc you can find in
"./freevo-1.3.2-pre2/contrib/lirc/". The files realmagic and urc_7201b00
are good examples how you map the buttons of youre remote (as shown by
irw) to the commands freevo expects.

so stepwise:
-had lirc installed and working (test with mode2 and irw). 
-unpacked "freevo-1.3.2-pre2.tar.gz" and moved it's contents to
/usr/local/freevo/
-created /etc/freevo/lircrc
-changed access-rights of /dev/lircd to rw-rw-rw-

That's all.

Don't know cause I'm not that long using freevo. But I think it's using
lirc

Nope, it only listens to /etc/freevo/lircrc

freevo/rc_clients/ isn't used at all anymore. You kan simply test this
by moving it to an other dir.

It should standard read "/etc/freevo/lircrc"
