Please do this. That's why I started this thread off with goals for the implementation. After we settle on a set of goals we can move on to how to implement those goals. The end result is almost certainly going to combine aspects from all of the various proposals and the LIRC code base is likely to be the largest contributor. There are two very basic things that we need to reach consensus on first. 1) Unification with mouse/keyboard in evdev - put IR on equal footing. 2) Specific tools (xmodmap, setkeycodes, etc or the LIRC ones) or generic tools (ls, mkdir, echo) for configuration Once consensus is reached in those two areas everything else should be much easier. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@xxxxxxxxx -- 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
