Actually, if it's going to finally play nice with the input subsystem, that would probably address the primary issue why Carsten steered away from LIRC in the first place. I should search the kernel to see if there is an -EOUTOFLUCK. If not, somebody should post a patch to add it :-) My big complaint about LIRC is that it is a major PITA to compile its out-of-tree kernel modules. I'm always fighting with its brain-dead build system. To finally have that in the kernel - with that cruft gone - is great. -Mike -- Mike Isely isely @ pobox (dot) com PGP: 03 54 43 4D 75 E5 CC 92 71 16 01 E2 B5 F5 C1 E8 _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
