Don't forget that completely different boards can have identical remotes. For example the RTL2831 driver has an almost identical copy of dvb-usb IR code in it. See here for in depth explanation and patch that makes it use dvb-usb instead: http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/38794/ Now I'm not really familiar with frontends and tuners so it may be that the RTL driver should be reimplemented within dvb-usb instead, but if it can't be it would be nice if that IR code could be shared without pulling in all the rest of dvb-usb modules too. I'm told that the excessive code duplication is the reason this driver isn't in mainline yet - I've been using it with no problems for over two years now. -- Alistair Buxton a.j.buxton@xxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
