Hi Nick
I have the following setup
- Compro DVB-T300
- Gentoo 2.6.11
- pIII 500
- vdr 1.3.11
I have loaded the latest drivers from CSV and included your patches and have
some results that I don't understant, perhpas you can explain?
I notice from dmesg that loading the saa7134 drivers now registers an input
device for IR. As soon as I do this and use the remote control I get output
to my console as if it were a keyboard. I do not have LIRC running at this
stage.
Is this what you would expect?
Is there any way I can route the IR input to an input device and use LIRC
with vdr?
Do I even need LIRC since the remote control is obviously working and
triggering some event in Linux?
Thanks in advance
Anthony
