# Infra-red controller

- The Geeqie User Manual
- Reference

Recent Linux kernels have in-built support for ir devices, making lirc support redundant.

If you wish to use lirc with Geeqie, the lirc libraries must be installed. If you are compiling from sources, lirc functionality will be available if the library dependencies are met.

If you are using a pre-compiled distribution, availability depends on the package maintainer.

The website Linux Infrared Remote Control has detailed information on this subject.

You will need to create a configuration file for the controller you will use. This file must be installed at the location specified in Configuration Files and Locations .

Here is an excerpt from an .lircrc file:

          begin geeqie
          begin
          prog = geeqie
          button = vol_up
          config = ZOOM_IN 1
          repeat = 3
          end
