From ArchWiki
X10 is a radio remote compatible with lirc

Install lirc
# pacman -S lirc lirc-utils
The package lirc provides the right kernel module.
Blacklist not working module
For some reason udev loads the wrong kernel module for this radio remote, so you need to blacklist it. this is done in /etc/rc.conf
Erros in dmesg with the wrong module:
ati_remote 1-1.1:1.0: Unknown input from channel 0x00: data 72,9d ati_remote: Weird data, len=5 20 fa 5b 65 b6 20 ... ati_remote: Weird data, len=5 20 fa db 5d b6 00 ...
To blacklist:
MODULES=(... !ati_remote)
To load the right one at boot:
MODULES=(... !ati_remote lirc_atiusb)
You need to unload the wrong kernel module manually if you attached the receiver before blacklisting the module.
Add the daemon to the daemons array to start it at boot:
DAEMONS="(... lircd)"
Create /etc/lircd.conf
This maps the keys from your remote to strings you can use for programs like mplayer. This config was created with "irrecord /tmp/x10".

Starting lircd
# /etc/rc.d/lircd start
Example mplayer config
You need to remove --disable-lirc from mplayers PKGBUILD and recompile it, as it is disabled by default (04.02.09)
You can check if lirc support is compiled in with "mplayer -v someplayablefile.xyz", look for "Setting up LIRC support.
~/.lircrc is the default mplayer filename for the lirc config, see man mplayer to change this.
Change in ~/.lircrc:
begin button = VOLUME_UP #VOLUME_UP is the string defined in /etc/lircd.conf prog = mplayer config = volume 1 #this is mplayers internal command, see "mplayer -input cmdlist" for more end begin button = VOLUME_DOWN prog = mplayer config = volume -1 end begin button = RIGHT prog = mplayer config = seek +1 end begin button = LEFT prog = mplayer config = seek -1 end begin button = UP prog = mplayer config = seek +50 end begin button = DOWN prog = mplayer config = seek -50 end begin button = PLAY prog = mplayer config = pause end begin button = PAUSE prog = mplayer config = pause end #show elapse/total time in the upper left corner #Source: http://prasinos.eu/articles/mplayer-lirc-elapsed-time begin button = GUIDE prog = mplayer config = osd_show_property_text "${time_pos} / ${length}" end
