TDE irkick tdelirc kcmlirc lirc

## Introduction

&irkick; is a background server that provides the 'glue' between the operating system and your TDE applications for the purpose of controlling TDE applications with your infrared remote controls.

It has a configuration tool, which may be accessed either by the Trinity Control Center or directly from the menu of &irkick;.

### Requirements

For the TDELirc framework to be utilised you must have setup a LIRC on your TDE machine. If it is properly set up, the &irkick; icon in the system tray will light up red. If not, it will be grey and crossed out.

For more information about LIRC, visit their website at http://www.lirc.org.

## Using &irkick;

&irkick; provides one main function: When a button on a remote control is pressed, it will temporarily become lit up. Aside from this &irkick; does little for the user directly aside from telling them of the activity of their remote controls.

Using the right-mouse-button menu, you can configure the TDE infrared remote control framework.
