OK, thanks; what about this one?: (description "LIRC allows to send and receive IR signals of many commonly used remote controls. The most important part of LIRC is the 'lircd' daemon that decodes IR signals received by the device drivers. The second daemon program 'lircmd' allows to translate IR signals to mouse movements. The user space applications allow to control your computer with your remote control: you can send X events to applications, start programs and much more on just one button press.") --=20 Alex
