# Linux input layer driver

Usually you don't have to create a config file yourself if you use this driver as this generic config file should already contain all existing keys.

This driver uses /dev/input/event0 as its input device per default. You should provide the correct device as --device parameter on the lircd and irrecord command line.

Sometimes the input device mapping changes between system reboots. In that case you are also able to specify the correct input device by its name or physical location by preceding the desired value with name= or phys=. See the Configuration Guide.
