Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Pierre Ossman (dr7eus) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Support for Linux event devices Initial Comment: (Copied from mailing list) As I recently bought an ATI remote control, I felt that Freevo really lacked good support for Linux event devices. So I decided to add it. :) Included is a patch that adds that support, relevant configuration options and a default key map that should handle most devices out there. Comparison with using SDL keyboard: Pros: * You can use specific devices instead of all. * You get all fancy special buttons (like stop, play, etc.) working by default. * You can handle devices that might not show up as keyboards. Cons: * As it uses local device nodes, it only works for locally connected devices. Only a problem if you run freevo through X11 to another machine. * You need to explicitly configure which devices to use (I plan to make it easier by mapping on device name instead of device node). This input system could in theory replace both keyboard and joystick support. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=446898&aid=1579124&group_id=46652 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
