It is a great idea to use the event driver in freevo, I said that before, and it's something we should definitely have. This is exactly the way, that I would like the event driver to work. There are too many different kernels out there that I think parsing the linux/input.h at run-time is a bad idea too higher a chance that it will cause problems; generating a configuration file *is* the way to go. The configuration script can be python code or a simple text file. Not everybody will have kernel rpm installed so having the fall-back is a good idea too. There is a freevo helper makelircrc, so we should have one that does the same for events. When this is done I'll be more than happy to add event device processing to the rel-1. > I don't think it's possible to avoid accessing input.h at some point > during the build process....
