In that case, one solution would be: * using the full 32 bit scancode * add a module parameter to squash the ID byte to zero * default the module parameter to true * create a keymap suitable for ID = 0x00 Users who really want to distinguish remotes can then change the module parameter and generate a keymap for their particular ID. Most others will be blissfully unaware of this feature. -- David Härdeman -- 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
