Hello, Some years ago I wrote a tool called "inputlirc" that translates evdev events into LIRC events, to allow remotes that then already used the input system to work with LIRC. At the time, lircd itself could do this, but you had to "train" it to "decode" evdev bitstreams. Instead, inputlirc uses a fixed mapping between evdev names and LIRC key names, so you don't need to train or configure anything. It seems that if you want to merge LIRC into the kernel, and have it generate standard events, then inputlirc can be used to provide backwards compatibility to those applications that only work with LIRC, or that rely on LIRC specific behaviour (such as mode switching). Debian package: http://packages.debian.org/inputlirc Git repository: http://git.sliepen.org/inputlirc/ -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <guus@xxxxxxxxxxx>
