This is using the IR remote and receiver that Microsoft sells for the Xbox -- the DVD Movie Playback Kit (and its cheaper clones), ie, http://www.gameswarehouse.com.au/longpage.asp?gameid=6895 Gentoo Linux provide the driver when you compile lirc-0.7.0 on an Xbox, otherwise you can get the patch from Xbox-Linux' CVS. http://cvs.xbox-linux.org/viewcvs.py/xbox-linux/lirc/lirc-0.7.0-xbox.patch?r ev=1.1&view=auto The LIRC support requires a 2.6-series kernel (so using something Xebian-based I think probably doesn't work), there are other drivers, look around on http://www.xbox-linux.org, for kernel 2.4. It's not fully supported by LIRC to my knowledge. Joshua King PS. You *can* use other remotes, as always programmed with the appropriates, the receiver is the important bit.
