A possible solution could be to not report the keys on the Remote device when they are reported on the Accel device, or to have some kind of switch to determine on which device(s) they should be reported (defaulting to both).

The nice thing about the joydev interfaces is that it allows using the device (possibly with some limitations) with games that already support this interface, without needing specific wiimote support or awareness, and without requiring additional drivers. As long as it doesn't conflict with other usages, I think it's all value-add 8-) > Anyway, feel free to send this patch to linux-input as proper git > patch and CC Jiri and Dmitry.

Ok, I'll prepare the patch, thanks. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta -- 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
