I would think a good way at this would be to port lirc to the N900, allowing the widely available configuration files to be used, or created on any other lirc host and transferred to the N900.

Some already at this:

qtirreco -- http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=37655

Nokia-N900-42-11:~# apt-cache search lirc
lirc - Lirc server
libirman-dev - library for accessing the Irman Infra Red hardware
irreco-backend-internal-lirc - Internal Lirc backend for Irreco
irreco-backend-lirc - Lirc backend for Irreco
irreco-for-n900 - Irreco - Ir Remote Control

According to http://www.natisbad.org/N900/n900-co...are-specs.html

Infrared support is provided by lirc_rx51 module (drivers/input/lirc/lirc_rx51.c). It can be enabled via the following configuration option:

Code:

Symbol: LIRC_RX51 [=m]
Prompt: RX51 CIR transmitter
  Defined at drivers/input/lirc/Kconfig:19
  Depends on: !S390 && INPUT && INPUT_LIRC && LIRC_DEV && ARCH_OMAP
  Location:
    -> Device Drivers
      -> Input device support
        -> Generic input layer (needed for keyboard, mouse, ...) (INPUT [=y])
          -> Linux Infrared Remote Control IR receiver/transmitter drivers (INPUT_LIRC [=y])
            -> LIRC device loadable module support (LIRC_DEV [=m])

Alas, why I'll likely never recommend the N900 to my friends

Non-nerd apps; USB charging - generic and reliable; Distinctive ring tones; GPS failure to lock; Competitive "maps" application; Supported MMS, iSync, Bluetooth

(The feeble FM transmitter bugs me too)
