IR Remote ./ built in IRDA Laptop using lirc
I've encoded all my CD's to ogg and play them using Rhythmbox on my laptop
I quite like the idea of being able to control basic functions via a remote left over from an old cable box
from what I've read so far I need to use LIRC and the relevant Rhythmbox plugin
but can i use the built in IR port on the laptop (IBM X31) or will I have to make a dongle?
and are there any guides specifically for this?
The distance between remote and latop won't be more than 3 metres
Thanks in advance
