As I said, relatively few remote controls are supported. That probably won't change until individuals adapt the code for their specific remote control, like Daniel did for his and like I did for my remote control. The code is really ugly, but not too difficult to understand. >>> I think I have a good lircd.conf with information about my remote, >>> but I'm sure I'm missing some information about how to get the >>> kernel modules I'll need to generate my /dev/lirc0. >> >> Are you sure you need a /dev/lirc0?

The DVICO driver integration is my work, and it's a USB-connected device. Are you sure that your lircd.conf is correct? >>> Perhaps this might be a better question for a different FreeBSD >>> list?

Would you like some suggestions for your guide? Yes, please. Remember, though, that it's currently very flaky, and I'll fix a lot the next time I have time to look at it. What I'd really like to know is where other people ran into trouble, and how they fixed it.
