Incredibly Useful Config Files: /etc/lircd.conf and ~/.lircrc

This is my LIRC (Linux Infrared Remote Control) setup on my desktop. I have a Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250 tuner. It is a later model, and the remote is identical to what was traditionally considered the classic Hauppauge WinTV PVR-350 remote. It has a gray top and black bottom, and has red/green/yellow/blue buttons in a square around the directional pad.

In my setup, I have configured LIRC to work with Amarok, MPlayer, and MythTV.

The config files were last updated November 11th, 2008.
