Yes and it runs fine.

I start SLIMMER with:

Code:
--------------------
    pi@raspi:~/slimmer/slimmer-build $ ./slimmer -v -s homeserver -l localhost 
-P 13666 -i /dev/input/event3 -- 
--------------------


/dev/input/event3 is the LIRC device 
Code:
--------------------
    pi@raspi:~/slimmer/slimmer-build $ evtest
  No device specified, trying to scan all of /dev/input/event*
  Not running as root, no devices may be available.
  Available devices:
  /dev/input/event0:    Motorola Mobility Motorola HD Dock
  /dev/input/event1:    BTC USB Cordless Mouse
  /dev/input/event2:    BTC USB Cordless Mouse
  /dev/input/event3:    lircd 
--------------------


The device name /dev/input/event3 is not stable and typically varies
after a reboot.
But the lirc distribution contains a udev rule which if installed
creates a device link named
/dev/lircd-uinput which always can be used.

But I have not come to this rule yet.


Regards Markus
