[directfb-users] LIRC Support to DirectFB worked..

[suriya mohan]

Hi all,
  I had made the "PixelView PlayTV Pro" remote control to work 
with
DirectFB. Now the DirectFB example program "df_input" responds to 
the
aforesaid remote control.

Following are the steps to be followed:

1) The configuration file /etc/lircd.conf should be modified. 
(This
configuartion file will be generated while compiling LIRC)

 For EX: you can see the following in /etc/lircd.conf.

    chan+                    0x0000000000006897
    chan-                    0x00000000000028D7
 Just change the above 2 lines as follows

    PAGE_UP                  0x0000000000006897
    PAGE_DOWN                0x00000000000028D7
 Here the PAGE_UP and PAGE_DOWN keys are name the keys like 
DirectFB
does (DIKS_* without DIKS_). See directfb_keynames.h for a 
complete
list.

 2) Run lircd daemon program.
 3) Run df_input example program.
With Regards,
S.Suriya Mohan.

You certainly checked if the lirc driver is loaded by looking at 
the
console ouptut of your DirectFB application, didn't you?

No, as all other DirectFB input drivers, it creates a thread but 
runs
as part of your application.
