sending synthetic X-events to KsCD player

[Banu C. <sha...@xn...>]

Hi all!


        I have recently succeeded in getting my IR-receiver and LIRC driv=
er to=20
work=20
and I must say it's something great and I thank all of you who made this=20
possible. I've played a little with the lirc-programs (irexec, irw, xmode=
2!,=20
etc.) and I read in the docs that I should be able to send events to=20
applications (button clicks, keys, etc) but it's just not working on my=20
system. The computer is pretty capable, other lirc programs work fine. I =
have=20
RedHat7.3 installed and i use KDE3.0. There are at least two programs whi=
ch=20
don't work with irxevent: mplayer and kscd. I really need to be able to s=
end=20
this sort of events to KsCD because I think there's no other way to contr=
ol=20
it with the RC.
        Here's how I initialize LIRC:
                lircd
                irxevent &
                irexec -d
        What do I have to do in order to get irxevent to work? Are there=20
settings=20
which forbids me from sending synthetic X-events to applications?



        Thanks in advance,
                Cosmin Banu.
