Control is a software that acts as a remote control daemon for Creative's RM-900 remote and Live!Drive Receiver to control multimedia systems through one device.
IControl is a software program designed to interpret signals sent from Creative's RM-900 remote control and the accompanying IR LiveDrive! receiver unit. With IControl, users can send input to various programs, including XMMS, Xine, XawTV, XScreensaver, and more. Users can also change input focus and adjust window stacking order, sending windows to the background.
In addition to supporting the RM-900 remote control, IControl will soon support other remote controls that are interpretable by the LiveDrive! unit. The software is completely configurable through its .conf files, enabling users to map any key to any action that the rcontrol daemon supports. Development is ongoing to allow IControl to start programs, interface with devices, and even shut down computers.
To use IControl, users must have X11, GTK+, and Creative's EMU10K1 Sound Driver installed. Installation instructions are provided for the source tarball, but not for prebuilt binaries or source RPM distributions. Once installed, users can edit IControl's default configurations and keybindings contained in the file "~/.icontrol/icontrol.conf."
Users can also utilize a set of command-line parameters, including options to load configuration files, use MIDI devices, display version information, and access help messages. Overall, IControl is a versatile software program that offers users an easy way to control their computer through a remote control device.
