Modern input drivers in the mainline kernel have a scancode-to-keycode translation table (or equivalent) which can be overwritten by userspace. The mechanism to do that is the EVIOCSKEYCODE ioctl. (This is no recommendation for lirc. I have no idea whether a pulse/space -> scancode -> keycode translation would be practical there.) -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--= =-== =-=== http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
