Under windows the remote is working properly but under linux it is starting to be pretty annoying to switch channel with the mouse ... Also, any config file out there for using mplayer with kde lirc server ? In the hope that I will receive help with this problem .... many thanks ! Titiriga Dorin, SuSE user, Romania
