inputlircd interfaces with lirc by reading from devices. I use it in
mythtv with this remote.
http://www.omcentre.com.au/hardware/m350-media-centre/wireless-multimedi
a-infrared-ir-remote-controller-deal-extreme-34435/
which presents both as a mouse and keyboard. lirc can handle linking
two devices together via
lircd --driver=devinput
--device=/dev/input/by-id/usbwww.irfmedia.com_W-01RN_USB_V3.1-event-kbd
--output=/var/run/lirc/lircd1 --pidfile=/var/run/lirc/lircd1.pid
--listen
lircd --driver=devinput
--device=/dev/input/by-id/usbwww.irfmedia.com_W-01RN_USB_V3.1-event-mous
e --output=/var/run/lirc/lircd --pidfile=/var/run/lirc/lircd.pid
--connect=localhost:8765
but this was also easily done using inputlircd before I figured out the
above by
/usr/local/bin/inputlircd -m 0 -g -c
/dev/input/by-id/usb-www.irfmedia.com_W-01RN_USB_V3.1-event-kbd
/dev/input/by-id/usb-www.irfmedia.com_W-01RN_USB_V3.1-event-mouse
And
http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput
as the lircd.conf file.
You can see the devices by looking at dmesg uonce the usb receiver is
inserted. For this devices you need to recompile the kernel module to
access the keys, see
