[WinLIRC] Newbie: Winlirc hardware

[Wolfgang W. <wo_...@gm...>]

Hi,
I want to use winlirc with a laptop with build-in IR-receiver.
Till now, it doesn't work.
Is this unpossible, if the receiver is not listed in the winlirc 
hardware list? (its listed as a winbond IR-Receiver)
I also want to use winlirc on a PC. If I buy an USB-IR-receiver, will it 
work?
A there other programs, which will work with the winbond or an 
USB-IR-receiver?
Do I need a spezial remote, or schould every remote do?
