Yes, I  have done that some time ago.
Note: some drivers are built-in in lirc (they are not part of the
parallel or serial drivers). the parallel and serial drivers was not
ported (last I looked at least), but that didn't stop me from getting a
remote working. I can't remember which remote just now.

Try Google (groups) for FreeBSD + lirc.

That I don't know about.

I have a Pinnacle remote controll with serial port connector. It works
fine (tested only with mPlayer): lircd --device=/dev/cuad0 --drive=pinsys

Best, Laci

I wrote a simple python program that interfaces directly with /dev/ugen0.1 
to work with the usb rf ati remote wonder plus.  Rather then interfacing 
through lircd, I just output stuff in the format that lircd uses so that
programs
like mplayer just work.

The format is something like:

hexcode repeat-count keybinding configfile

or:

'00000040151f0a00 00 MUTE /home/jwood/remotewonderplus.conf\n'
'00000040151f0a00 01 MUTE /home/jwood/remotewonderplus.conf\n'
'00000040151f0a00 02 MUTE /home/jwood/remotewonderplus.conf\n'
'00000040151f0a00 03 MUTE /home/jwood/remotewonderplus.conf\n'

if I were to hold the mute key down.

If anyone would like the code, reply to me off list, as I am not on the 
list.

I've used it with an IRMan compatible remote that I built 
http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=KC5366&CATID=&keywords=remote+control&SPECIAL=&form=KEYWORD&ProdCodeOnly=&Keyword1=&Keyword2=&pageNumber=&priceMin=&priceMax=&SUBCATID
Note that you will probably want to use the version of LIRC in 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/86528 which is more up to 
date than the ports one and has some fixes for the (pretty revolting) code 
LIRC uses to lock the serial port.

I have this in /etc/rc.conf...
lircd_enable="YES"
lircd_flags="-H irman -d /dev/cuaa0 /usr/local/etc/lircd.conf"

/usr/local/etc/lircd.conf was generated using irrecord.

I have a patch for mplayer which enables LIRC support on FreeBSD which I 
believe the maintainer will be committing RSN (when I get back to him 
anyway :)
