Difference is that inputlirc forwards key codes to lirc clients, so you need irexec (from lirc package) to execute command on button press. My solution has ability to execute command without using lirc (command is defined in esekeyd.conf). On the other hand esekeyd cannot forward keys to lirc clients. -- Krzysztof Burghardt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.burghardt.pl/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
