When trying to figure that out I started working on the concept of running simultaneous state machines to decode the pulse timings. I also had an embedded system with an IR receiver hooked to a timer input pin. I started off with a implementation that ran multiple Sony protocol decoders and used the input from the timer pin. I know now that I could use irrecord individually for each group of keys on the Sony remote and then glue the flies together. But that's the path that caused me to write the code. Also throw into pot that I had previously had some very bad experiences trying to deal with the old mouse and kbd device inside of the X server. I was aware that evdev was designed to fix all of those problems. That made me want a fully evdev based design. > > Christoph > -- > 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 > -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@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
