<title>Introduction</title>

<para>
&irkick; is a background server that provides the 'glue' between
the operating system and your TDE applications for the purpose of
controlling TDE applications with your infrared remote controls.
</para>

<para>
It has a configuration tool, which may be accessed either by the
Trinity Control Center or directly from the menu of &irkick;.

<sect1 id="requirements">
<title>Requirements</title>

<para>
For the TDELirc framework to be utilised you must have setup a LIRC
on your TDE machine. If it is properly set up, the &irkick; icon in
the system tray will light up red. If not, it will be grey and crossed
out.
</para>

<para>

<title>Using &irkick;</title>

<para>
&irkick; provides one main function: When a button on a remote control is
pressed, it will temporarily become lit up. Aside from this &irkick; does
little for the user directly aside from telling them of the activity of their
remote controls.
</para>

<para>
Using the right-mouse-button menu, you can configure the TDE infrared remote
control framework.
