Hi Jo
thats the problem I've having - I can't get my head around all these
codes and "emulation".
could you provide a step-by-step from the beginning on how you
achieved this?
thanks

The Kameleon can either act as a learning remote (you press a button on
an IR device, and assign that signal to a Kameleon button), or as an
emulated remote, where it pretends to be another manufacturer's remote.
The latter is achieved by holding the MAGIC button for a few seconds
when in a given mode (e.g. TV mode, DVD mode), then pressing a code. In
my case, SAT mode -> MAGIC 1300 gave a fairly featured remote control
for some random set-top box. Some types of remote are easier to generate
LIRC configs for than others, some are nigh on impossible. The @sat
remote appears to map most (but not all) of the buttons on the Kameleon
- the "xmode2" application reads from the LIRC device and shows the raw
data received, so you can quickly see whether a button press is actually
transmitting anything.
You can then use either the irrecord app to generate a remote-specific
lircd.conf config file, or use a pre-made config (there are many on the
lirc webpage).
As for getting LIRC itself up and running, that's very
distribution-specific and accident-prone, so I can't recommend on that front
