configuring Lirc

I have installed these packages:

lirc
lirc-kmp-default
pulseaudio-module-lirc

and I have turned on irda service through yast.

However, the question is, I have no idea whether my HP remote control is recognized or not by openSUSE 11.1. And when I try to turn on lirc service, it says that the program is not configured, but I don’t know how to configure. So, how would I be able to configure lirc to work with my HP m8200n desktop?

Thank you
