Hi Rob, Are you aware that in kernel 2.6, there's an input layer which pretty much maps to the keyboard events provided to X11? I don't know all the details, but basically my new TV capture card with IR remote (saa7134-based) doesn't need to use lirc to capture and decode the button presses. I'm not sure about the status of the other IR remote devices, whether they're being ported to the input layer. In fact, lirc in cvs (0.7pre7, last I checked) now has input layer support. I havne't figured out how to map them to freevo events yet.... Worth a look I believe.
